Uplifter uses a 3rd party editing system known as TinyMCE. For safety reasons, TinyMCE strips potentially harmful code from the source code before finalizing. Because of this, embed code that uses a <script> tag will be removed from the source code. Please be sure to obtain embeddable iFrame code for the highest rate of success.
