Hello,

I have an html enable template that I'm using to create a web page that
would allow us to add an embedded object on the web page itself.   It has th
e
following code:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie"
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/of3c9lrnFJs"></param><embed
src="http://www.youtube.com/v/of3c9lrnFJs"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600"
height="350"></embed></object>

On the web page, I select html and then paste the code on it but the code
would not save on the page.  Please advise.  Thanks.

Hi Helen,

this is by design.
only allows specific tags in a html placeholder depending on the formatting
mode.
See here for a complete list in the MCMS documentation:

\Developer Reference
\MCMS .NET Class Reference
\Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.Extensions.Placeholders
Namespace
\HtmlPlaceholderDefinition.SourceFormatting Enumeration

Active content like object and embed tags are not allowed.

You can use this custom placeholder control as a workaround:

Hi Stefan,

If this is by design, what is the reason for not allowing active content to
be in the web page?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Helen,

it was a design decision. The reason is that active content (javascript,
other stuff) should be designed by template designers. Not by content
providers.

Cheers,
Stefan.
