Why doesn't an object show up in WYSIWYG mode?

I have an embed surrounded by an object tag, entered in Source mode.

But nothing shows up in WYSIWYG mode. If I remove the surrounding object tag then the embed does show up in WYSIWYG mode. So it seems the presence of the object tag is somehow preventing the embed from showing when in the editor.

The content shows up just fine when using the Preview tool. And it shows up fine at my site after saving the editor contents.

Why doesn't it show up when switching from Source to WYSIWYG though?

I tried adding an editor area CSS for it like:

object
{
   visibility: visible;
}

but that didn't help at all.

Any hints or suggestions?

Thanks,

It seems that the mere presence of a surrounding object tag hides the inside part from displaying in the WYSIWYG editor area - even though the preview tool works just fine.

Does anybody happen to know why?

Is there some FCKEditor configuration dealing with object tags?

Thanks,

Does nobody else experience this problem with object tags in the WYSIWYG editor area?

Re: Why doesn't an object show up in WYSIWYG mode?

It seems odd to resurrect a 2009 post, but this describes exactly the same problem I am seeing with CKE 4.3

We are trying to include a page from an external site within ours. The code used is:

<div align="center"><object data="link to external pages removed for privacy" height="800" width="800"></object></div>

We have also tried using iframe/src instead of object/data.

In both cases the code does work, but is not visible in CKE, so cannot be edited. Is there any solution to this?

Could be caused by two things

Could be caused by two things:

1) ACF might be stripping some of the code, so read up on it (would help to have the align buttons installed)

2) div align="center"> is deprecated and CKEditor doesn't use deprecated code. Use <div style="text-align: center;"> instead

Thanks you. ACF was the tip I needed. Turning off automatic mode fixed the problem. It also gave us back the align buttons :-)
