Are you sure it wasn't an unlinked image?

You *can* drag just <img ... /> and get an image.  That works.

But if you drag <a ...><img ... /></a>, you don't get anything.

Like I said, from what I saw using the clipspy.exe application, the 
Windows internal clipboard structure during IE's drag and drop operation 
doesn't contain the data required for displaying an image if that image 
was inside an anchor.

I'm not able to get HTMLarea to behave any differently.
