# Help, code deleting!!

 * Hi all, I’m having a serious issue with a site I’m working on. I have videos 
   embedded in my pages, but whenever I go to edit the page and save the changes
   afterwards, the video code randomly disappears and thus the video disappears.
   I have no idea why this is happening. Can anyone help me? I’ve been trying to
   get help for this for weeks now.
 * Thanks,
 * PJ

 * Are you switching between the Visual & HTML Editor tabs?

 * yes i check both of them…it doesn’t happen until I save the changes. Then the
   code for the video vanishes.

 * Don’t switch between tabs. Pick one tab and then stick to it or you will lose
   markup.

 * but why is that the case? is there something that can stop this? What if a user
   needs to switch to codeview to fix something?

 * Is it <embed> code that’s disappearing? If so, you’re likely stripping it out
   for security reasons on save.

 * Because, unfortunately, that’s how TinyMCE (the Visual Editor) works.

 * Certain HTML tages do get stripped by the Visual Editor. Wish I knew which ones.
   My embedded Google map code is always affected.
 * I found that I could switch back and forth between Visual and HTML as long as
   I submitted the update only in the HTML view.

 * I’m having this same problem, except it’s getting stripped when I click “save
   draft” by anyone other than an administrator. I’m not switching between views,
   i.e. i am in HTML view the whole time.
