Allow form textarea to contain <object> tag

Hey guys, I’ve been trying to figure this out for some time now… It appears when I paste markup that contains and <object> tag into a textarea on a form and submit the form the object tags appear to be striped. I need to allow my user to paste a flash widget which into a textarea for storage. How can I do this? Thanks…

Are you doing anything special to the textarea? Like is the form adding it to a database? You may need to do mysql_real_escape_string, add/stripslashes somewhere.
