Wordpress auto <p> insertion around my images

[drtanz]

Having some trouble with wordpress inserting <p> tags around my img

my code:

<div>
<img />
<p>MY PARAGRAPH HERE<p>
</div>

but wordpress changes this to

<div>
<p><img /><p>
<p>MY PARAGRAPH HERE<p>
</div>

I don't want those <p> tags around my image, is there a way to disable this auto insertion? thanks

What I do is get rid of all white space:

<div><img /><p>MY PARAGRAPH HERE<p></div>

That seems to get rid of the auto <p>.

I tried that but it didn't work, probably because the <div> part is in my template, so in the post content the <img /> tag is the first thing entered.
