Problems embedding HTML in Yahoo! 360 blog? Code keeps disappearing?

I've been trying to embed the following piece of HTML into my blog, but the item does not show up when I preview it. When I go back to edit the entry page, half of the HTML code I pasted in originally is missing. Any idea why?

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr><td><embed src="http://www.mugglenet.com/countdown/cd-dh.swf " width="200" height="93"></embed></td><td><embed src="http://www.mugglenet.com/countdown/cd-ootp.swf%22 width="200" height="93"></embed></td></tr> </table>

Here's the site I got my code from. I'm trying to add a countdown to the new Harry Potter book to my blog.

http://www.mugglenet.com/countdown/add.shtml

I did make sure to check the view HTML box before entering the code, and I did have additional typing on the entry. Maybe Yahoo! has a problem with Harry Potter? (I always knew Yahoo! was evil!)

Anyway, thanks for any help you can give me!

    there could be an error with the code itself, not all html codes are supported by yahoo, double check and make sure 360 will check the code..♥

    There could be a number of reasons for this happening one could be that the link your trying to embed has a program that will not allow you to paste the entire HTML link without paying. or being a member. another reason could be that 360 is having maintenance issues. could also be that when you highlight the area to copy some of the url isn't being picked up.

    good luck
