OK. I've never seen anything like this before.

The index page for the site has an embeded video player on it. I redesigned it with some javascript that allows feeds to be displayed.

Now, everytime I save the page, the /embed code at the end of the embed line disappears causing the video to not show up.

I have no freakin idea what's causing that part of the code to disappear.

Any of you programs have any ideas?
 
Damn. I just removed all the javascript and css I added to the page (copy of it) and it still removes the /embed tag when I save it. WTH?
 
To me it sounds like the player coding is incorrect does it disappear completely? like the entire feed coding line?

Double check the player coding and the feed coding and re write if needed.

Jim u can pm me the blurb of code and ill take a look at it. as well as links to the player and feed. ill see what i can do.

If you're using an online CMS, it could be stripping it out in the WYSIWYG editor that they choose for some reason. My first thoughts would be bad formatting - like unclosed quote, tag, etc. Couldn't tell you w/o seeing it, post the code.

Here's the code:

Code: 
<embed src="http://www.powertvonline.com/xp2/dmlkZW8udGhlcmFuZ2Vyc3RhdGlvbi5jb20/8940/1082/off" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="275" height="222"></embed>

When I save the page, the < /embed > code disappears, but the rest of it is still there.

I've got (3) javascripts running on the page to load feeds as well, but they work.

Are you saying that it's broken on the front of this site right now? The source I am seeing for the video is exactly what is being posted with the closing tag.

Not too sure if <embed /> is supposed to be the valid syntax, it would be doing the right thing by removing the closing tag that if this is the case in XHTML.

Does this make any difference?

Code: 
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="275" height="222" id="trs">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.powertvonline.com/xp2/dmlkZW8udGhlcmFuZ2Vyc3RhdGlvbi5jb20/8940/1082/off">
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
    <embed src="http://www.powertvonline.com/xp2/dmlkZW8udGhlcmFuZ2Vyc3RhdGlvbi5jb20/8940/1082/off" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="275" height="222"></embed>
</object>
 
Last night sometimes I would see the video on the main page, and sometimes I wouldn't.

I replaced my code with your code. Now, I can actually see the player displayed in Front Page instead of the symbol for the plug in, but I'm not seeing it being displayed on the site.

It's hard to say. I copied the html into a file on my local hard drive and it wouldn't show the video in IE 8. I moved the DOCTYPE at the top of the page to where it's recommended to be, and it started showing everytime. However, it still didn't work in IE 6. I gutted the page and it seems to work once a lot of the scripts are taken out, it could be that something is walking over each other in the same namespace. Pretty strange. I suspect the video is there, but it's getting tucked in a place that it cannot be seen (z-index issue?). I use FireBug in FireFox to help diagnose, and I do have something for IE, but it's not as good and I couldn't find anything that pointing to anything specifically. DOCTYPE makes a HUGE difference on how the page is rendered.

The DOCTYPE is usually the first tag on the page, but it did completely change the way the layout looks. FireFox made no difference.
