Field in Custom Content Type Stripping out  tags Drupal6: I have a custom content type, with a custom field, set to textarea. The content type's instance filter is set to Full HTML.

When I add an image tag to the custom field, the image renders in the WYSIWIG in edit mode. When I save the node, the  tag doesn't show up at all. When I view source, the  tag simply isn't there.

I returned immediately out of my module's hook_nodeapi, and disabled all custom filters in the full html input format, to no avail.

If I put the same image tag in the body field of this content type, the image renders when viewing the node. Any ideas?
A custom field doesn't have the same attributes as the standard body area.

Another approach would be to add a second field for the image and separate the two types at the content entry stage. You can combine them using Views. You could hide the first field and then rewrite the second field to display them together. A possible problem here is that the image will appear at the beginning or end of the copy -- float the image to have the text wrap around it -- but you won't have an option to place anywhere else.
