Why does WordPress strip out certain elements from my posts, such as <center> and style attributes??
What I type in:
<br />
<center>this text is centered</center></p>
<p>Here is a table with a background-image specified in the style block:<br />
<table id="thetable" name="thetable" style="background-image: url(http://is1.okcupid.com/graphics/politics/chart_political.gif);" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="375" width="375"><tbody><br />
<tr height="31"><br />
<td width="212"></td><br />
<td width="162"></td><br />
</tr><br />
<tr height="343"><br />
<td width="212"></td><br />
<td align="left" valign="top" width="162"><br />
<img src="http://is1.okcupid.com/graphics/politics_you.gif" border="0"><br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
</tbody></table><br />
What gets saved:
<br />
this text is centered</p>
<p>Here is a table with a background-image specified in the style block:<br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="375"><tbody><br />
<tr><br />
<td width="212"></td><br />
<td width="162"></td><br />
</tr><br />
<tr><br />
<td width="212"></td><br />
<td align="left" valign="top" width="162"><br />
<img src="http://is1.okcupid.com/graphics/politics_you.gif" border="0"><br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
</tbody></table><br />
