Inserting Google maps

[loucypher]

I just tried completing the textual address on my test site with code obtained from Google maps (to show the map image), but when I save my article (HTML element, of course)... half of the Google's HTML code disappears!
Looks like the HTML given is interpreted before being saved (so the "&amp;" turns into "[&]"), and that the "<iframe>...</iframe>" stuff is discarded (hope I described it well enough...)
Any suggestion?

You may have to insert it as an HTML content element instead of a text element. I'm not sure how TL might parse a URL string like that.

Also, take a look under Settings > Security Settings > Allowed HTML Tags. Make sure that iframe is included in the list. I've had to make several adjustments to this section, otherwise TL will automatically remove the tags from your content elements after you save them. I was trying to include a <script> tag before realizing I hadn't given TL permission to use it!

Thanks Mark!
That was the problem, not having <iframe> allowed in HTML code.
