<embed> OK for admin - stripped for user

I have enabled <object>, <param> and <embed> in the global settings.

When logged in as an admin and enter the following in to an article element everything is fine (code as provided by slideshare.net):

Code:

---

<div id="__ss_1973781" style="width: 425px; text-align: left;">Session 1 Marketing And Marketing Orientation  2009
<object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=session1marketingandmarketingorientation2009-090909130947-phpapp01&amp;stripped_title=session-1-marketing-and-marketing-orientation-2009" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="355" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=session1marketingandmarketingorientation2009-090909130947-phpapp01&amp;stripped_title=session-1-marketing-and-marketing-orientation-2009" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>
</object>
<div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,arial; height: 26px; padding-top: 2px;">View more presentations from Bob Hogg.</div>

But if I enter the same code as a user the <embed> tag is stripped out, giving the following:

Code:

---

<div id="__ss_1973781" style="text-align: left; width: 425px;">Session 1 Marketing And Marketing Orientation 2009
<object style="margin: 0px;" width="425" height="355">
</object>
<div style="font-family: tahoma, arial; height: 26px; font-size: 11px; padding-top: 2px;">View more presentations from Bob Hogg.</div>
</div>

The strange thing is the following code can be entered and is not stripped out:

Code:

<embed></embed>[nbsp]</p>


<embed width="425" height="355" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=session1marketingandmarketingorientation2009-090909130947-phpapp01[&amp;]stripped_title=session-1-marketing-and-marketing-orientation-2009"></embed></p>

Any ideas as to how to cure this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary.

Bump... this is a real pain :cry: - any help much appreciated.

hi,

TYPOlight uses the php's function "strip_tags", so check if there are some bug reports against your version at http://bugs.php.net


p.s.
a quick google search for "php strip_tags embed" returns some (apparently) related results
