  Hi all,

  I am a WP newbie adding javascript to a page. Below is a full working html non wP page – and I would like to get something like it working on a WP page. When I copy the text inside the body tags below – then paste in to WP TEXT AREA – it does not do anything…

  Q: How Do I get this javascript working?

  Thanks

  The WordPress editor both autoformats your text and restricts the types of tags that are inserted into your content. Blocking the ability to insert scripts is a security feature of WordPress.

  That said, some services provide WordPress specific embed codes you can use or if you have the ability to upload plugins, there may be a plugin out there for the service you are using that will allow you to insert its content into the editor.
