I thought there would be a workaround to get img tags working but now I'm not sure if it can be done from our end.
It seems as if any < or > characters are translated into lt and gt special characters when you submit the form. The webdesigner has done some programming so that if you write [lt special character here]a[gt special character here] it will be translated into the correct html form but if the 'a' is replaced by something else the tag is either printed with the special characters for < and > (you may check the code of this page to see them) or the tag is omitted.
So all in all, there is some underlying nonstandard stuff happening to our posts before they are stored in the database. For an example, the 'a' tag works and you can use the href attribute with it but for an example type attribute will be removed from the post.
Haha, I'm very sleepy and will probably have a lot of fun tomorrow when trying to decipher what I wrote just now. :)
