WYSIWYG Editor Tip

When placing custom html code into a custom module or content item, it is best to turn your WYSIWYG editor off. Doing so will ensure the code you place will not get stripped away when the item is saved.

Turn your editor off in your admin your panel by going to Site > Global Configuration and setting Default WYSIWYG Editor to No WYSIWYG Editor.
