Hey All,
Big issues....had early troubles saving in TinyMCE without it erasing my coding (even when playing with whitelists and parameters) so installed JCE Editor. Now more issues. Want to paste in iframe code for a Google Map and Google Calendar and both will not save when using JCE Editor.
I would agree with edtv82 or use RokPad, which I do for myself. But it is difficult for clients, I usually just leave TinyMCE for them and if they need something like multimedia inserted in an iFrame I can supplement for that.
Prim has a point with the HTML button in TinyMCE, but the WYSIWYG editors mess around with that too...it just is not pure code it still gets "edited" by an editor that thinks it is superior to you.
For me RokPad and Word has been the best for content publishing. Type the content up in Word for the spell checking, and then dev it up in RokPad, clean up code, bam! :cheesy:

When someone is impatient and says, "I haven't got all day," I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?
Thanks everyone -- good advice all round. Saw that JCE plugin and might go that route. I was using originally the html button in the editor but it was still stripping it out. I was able to get it to 'stick' if I used no editor. But again if I turn the TinyMCE on for my clients to go in and make minor edits and they go into that page it will erase it again.
ANOTHER MINOR ISSUE:
Anyone ever have problems when you set your template.css to show body font in white and then not being able to see it in the editor. Going to be a pain for the clients as they go to edit text???
Actually didn't even need to get that complicated. Borrowed the editor.css file that I found in my templates/system folder and changed the body background # from white to a darker color so that I could see my white font when using the editor. Then saved that css file and in the JCE Administration Configuration changed:
-- "Use Template CSS" to NO.
-- "Custom CSS file" and pointed it to templates/theme226/css/editor.css
( I have made a copy of editor.css for my template theme folder.
