WordPress Deletes “params” Attribute in Posts/Pages

    I’m trying to get LightWindow to work on my wordpress blog. I have a bunch of links that when clicked, they open up in a modal box (with an image/swf inside). The thing is, this is an example code that is fully functional:

    <a href="gallery/header.swf" class="lightwindow" params="lightwindow_width=800,lightwindow_height=345">Link Name</a>

    (Note – I add this in the HTML tab and it actually works after I save the page.)

    Once I switch to the “Visual” tab and then back to the “HTML” tab, I see WordPress has removed the “params” tags, leaving me with:

    <a href="gallery/header.swf" class="lightwindow">Link Name</a>

    (The code doesn’t function now…)

    How do I go about solving this? I’ve gone through WAY too much work here to try and find and then switch to another modal box.

    Please help.

    I appreciate any answers.
    (I’m assuming I can edit a core file to tell wordpress not to remove stuff from posts/pages, right?)

    Never switch back and forth between the visual and html editors because it will mess up your code. Use only one editor or the other. This is a long-standing issue due to the different ways these editors do things, and I don’t expect it to be fixed anytime soon.
