iframe/HTML tags being stripped from field - how to disable this?

I have a post-submission action on a form, which is setup like so:
```
add_action("gform_post_submission_2", "update_event", 10, 2);
function update_event($entry, $form) {
  $str_with_iframe = $entry[3];
  // $entry[3] has HTML stripped
}
```
The field with ID = 3 is a textarea "Paragraph Text" type.

If I enter something into the field and submit the form, like:
```
<iframe src="http://example.com/"></iframe>
<a href="http://example.com">Visit the site</a>
```
From within the post submission hook, the content of $entry[3] is merely
```
Visit the site
```
with all HTML tags stripped.

How can I avoid these tags from being stripped in this manner?

Edit: I am using Gravity Forms v1.6.2.1.1.

Hi, wearethenest,

That field type does not allow html in it and any tags are stripped out. There are two things you can do:
1. Instead of pulling the value from $entry, you can use $_POST. If your field is 3, then use
$str_with_iframe = $_POST["input_3"];
2. Use the "gform_allowable_tags" hook to specify which tags are allowed so they do not get stripped out - http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_allowable_tags .

Thank you Dana! The gform_allowable_tags hook is precisely what I need in this instance.
