No, you can't. If it were possible, it would open up possibilities that could definately be misused. Sorry..

Thanks for the quick answer.
What kind of possibilities?Isnt that a code very similar to the youtube embed?
I think its a very usefull tool for running tournaments and the code itself is pretty harmless, dont u agree?

Im asking these questions just to understand

Take care

What you did is completely harmless; what someone like me could do with iframes can break the entire website.

Once again, thanks for the answer.
I understand (more or less..lol) how dangerous that could be.
In that case , how do u allow an youtube iframe?
Am i being totally non-sense or it runs exactly the same kind of code?

The youtube code isn't exactly BB iFrame. It takes only the youtube video id as an argument and creates the HTML with the video id inserted. Allowing willy-nilly HTML is really dangerous.
