Using Joomla 1.6, I was trying to add iframe code into my article and was having problems the other day. I was able to do this perfectly in Joomla 1.5 and now Joomla 1.6 is stripping the code.

After a day of monkeying around with the options, I finally found out where to make changes in the Joomla 1.6 administrator backend to enable embedded codes or iframe in my articles.

You can be as strict or as liberal as you require to suit your site needs. The text filtering is optional and the default settings provide good protection against any HTML markup commonly associated with Web site attacks.
