Stephen, thanks for the heads up. I will check that plugin out. I don’t do a lot of code posts here but next time I do, I am going to do it right.

Congrats on releasing the iFrame Widgets plugin!

Nice post. I use the Preserve Code Formatting plugin. The description:

Preserve formatting for text within <code> and <pre> tags (other tags can be defined as well). Helps to preserve code indentation, multiple spaces, prevents WP’s fancification of text (ie. ensures quotes don’t become curly, etc)

Not 100% sure that it works for JavaScript, but I think it does.

Using code tags,in the code edit window (while writing a page or post) makes the code function as it normally would! Instead type out the code in the Rich Text Editor of Wordpress and it would show as it is.

Read the end of this post where I write HTML in text format without using the code tags anywhere.

Regards.

Glad you liked this tweak. Honestly, I am finding this useful myself but didn’t occur to me to do this until a reader asked me how it can be done! May be I should have a weekly ‘Reader Question’ column here and try to hit a problem we all face and try to find a solution together here. That might be fun.

There seems to be a couple of WP plugins out there but none to my liking yet. I will look over your post and see if that is something I can use. Thanks for the link!

Now I just need to get some friends so I have someone to e-mail!

B2evolution gives me the same problem with javascript in posts. Since you’re using WordPress, I can’t really help you that much but if you can get support for the iframe tag you can insert practically anything into a post without having to enable a bunch of separate tags. This post is an example of where I took that approach:

There are drawbacks to this approach, however. That one guy still using netscape 2.0 won’t be able to see the iframe
