After upgrading from 2.3.7 to 2.4 I noticed that Google maps contained in iframes within the tinymce editor break all text following the iframe. The text seems to become part of the iframe. The iframe is copied into the page using the Edit HTML Source of the tinymce editor. After some testing I found that including text within the <iframe></iframe> element stops it breaking.

Can anyone confirm this is a bug introduced by 2.4?

This doesn't work:

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=exadium+uk&amp;sll=37.09024,-96.503906&amp;sspn=36.863178,91.494141&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=exadium+uk&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;ll=51.45882,-3.629801&amp;spn=0.113345,0.357399&amp;z=12&amp;iwloc=A&amp;cid=6460263702618688599&amp;output=embed"></iframe> Test after the iframe

This does work:

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=exadium+uk&amp;sll=37.09024,-96.503906&amp;sspn=36.863178,91.494141&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=exadium+uk&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;ll=51.45882,-3.629801&amp;spn=0.113345,0.357399&amp;z=12&amp;iwloc=A&amp;cid=6460263702618688599&amp;output=embed">Google Maps</iframe> Text after the iframe

Just noticed that this also happens with the same code in any HTMLText field. The pasted code has <iframe ... ></iframe>, HTMLText field changes this to <iframe ... /> which seriously breaks things.

Did you figure this out? It's driving me crazy!!!

I can't include a simple Google maps without my site breaking because of this.

Didn't find a permanent solution, I ended up entering some random text inside the iframe to make it work.

<iframe ...>Google Maps</iframe>
Fortunately the site only used a handful of maps directly in the editor.

The only other solution would be to create a separate TextField to your page for your maps.

Heh, I actually thought about that as I was falling asleep last night. At any rate, your suggestion worked! Thanks!
