HTML, JavaScript, and Flash Codes Allow and Not Allow In WordPress Features
Writing and Editing A Page in WordPress. Which ways you choose to edit a page by HTML Code or Visual?
Write HTML is not easy for the beginners who have used WordPress. Writing with HTML in WordPress is not complecated nor does it require a degree in foreign languages or web development. I am using HTML Edit Windows from WordPress Edit page to post content. I think that HTML Code is limitted to everyone when editing a page on WordPress.
The features of WordPress HTML usage is tried to limit some tags that users to add into html code. Why WordPress limit its HTML? because WordPress.com is a type of shared environment, whre all users are running off of the same software. This is great because it allows WordPress teams at Automatic to update millitions of blogs at the same time with a single click. It means to that they can fix bugs or offer new features very quickly, which is a win for all users. Having all users running on the same software can also be dangerous. If WordPress is not careful, one user has the potential to take down the entire site. So this is why WordPress need to limit some of the things you post on yur blog, and WordPress sets its default HTML. Example: Here is my order-form:
If you wrote some code or pasted it in from another web site and then it disappeared after publishing the post, the code is likely being stripped out. If you feel it’s being stripped out improperly or if you would like to suggest additional types of code we should allow, you should contact the support team.
Example: Below are my HTMl tags were not allowed after I added into HTML editing page and it removed out of those tags with my purposes.
So, for security reasons, WordPress remove the tags of HTML, JavaScript and other Flash are not allowed to post in WordPress. However, Flash and other types of embed that use;
<frame></frame>, , <form></form>,<input></input>,,<textarea></textarea> are not allowed in WordPress.com posts, pages, or text widgets.
Here are HTML Tags, which wordPress allow to use in your posts, pages, and widgrets:

Why JavaScript and Flash Animations are not allowed to post JavaScript on WordPress blogs.
For example, I have my Clock code that is written by JavaScript and I want my Clock appears on my homepage, all clock source code will be removed out of the page.
The reason is JavaScript is a kind of harmful language. But until WordPress can guarantee scripting langueages will not be harmful, they will not be permitted. Only JavaScript from trusted partners, such as Youtube and Google Video, is converted into a WordPress shortcode when a post is saved.
Flash Code and Animation files are also not allowed post in WordPress. Only Flash trusted partners, such Youtube, and Google Video, is converted into a WordPress shortcode when a post is saved.
