    <p>I want to be able to add a class to iframe elements in order to select them with CSS. Use the HTML view to see that the class attribute isn't there in the editor. This fiddle is for <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13161323/tinymce-strips-class-attribute-from-iframe-element">this stack overflow question.</a></p>
