Embedding HTML code?

[crelf]

Okay - I suck - can someone please post a step-by-step list on how to embed HTML into a LAVA post?

Below the LAVA post editor is a "Post Options" pull-down menu. Select either of the HTML modes. Then just type in the HTML tags. I'm not sure if you need to turn off the rich text editor, by pressing the Toggle Rich Text Editor button in the upper right corner of the editor.

p.s. HTML tags are permitted only for premium members if I recall correctly. I'm not sure if Mike regards you as such.

I am indeed a Premium Member, and I tried what you said - it didn't work. Here's an example: go to http://youtube.com/watch?v=wy_TB6onHVE' target="_blank">this youtube page, copy the "embed" code into a LAVA thread and get that working. I know it works, I've done it before, but I've never gotten it right on the first go.

What I did was following:

- Press toggle rich text button

- Set HTML On - Auto Linebreak Mode

- Paste embedded video HTML

- Press preview

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="

name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Where's the "toggle rich text button"? I tried doing what you said using the "toggle HTML source" button and it didn't work - do I need to click "Save HTML" as well?

I don't have any Save HTML button... I only have 'Add Reply' and 'Preview Post' buttons under the Post Options and Post Icons bars.
