Looks like I'll have to use another method, thanks for your help

The editor strips wrong code (or code it considers wrong) when you swirch to Visual.

Thank you for posting that link though, very interesting article

Yes I know not a perfect solution but it's just for an internal work newsletter and I want to keep it as 'semantic' as possible by keeping the H1 tags.

What exactly are you trying to do?

http://stamfordstamcell.wordpress.com/category/02-april-2012/
you can see the headers in the second post look wrong, I am using <h1><span>header</span></h1>. I have already gone in and replaced the span tags but it has stripped it out again. I am also using the copy a post feature.
The strange thing is I am using the same tags on:
http://stamfordstamcell.wordpress.com/category/01-march-2012/
and it's working fine?

Or are you using the copy a post feature?

I suspect you are using deprecated code.

I've noticed that when I copy a post (containing HTML tags) that some of the tags (mainly <span> and <p>) are being stripped from the new post. Why would this be happening?
