DW reformats html

[happilyeveralbum]

When I create an html doc in a text editor, such as TextPad, and then open it
in DW, DW rearranges the structure of my code.

For example:

<span class="nav">
<a href="#">link</a>
<a href="#">link</a>
<a href="#">link</a>
</span>

becomes

<span class="nav"> <a href="#">link</a> <a href="#">link</a> <a
href="#">link</a></span>

This is just in the code, and the web output is fine, but it totally destroys
any kind of organization to my html.

Any suggestions for how to disable this rude feature?

Thanks much!

Your sample displayed correctly when I pasted it into DMX 2004 here. You
might play with the Code View options in the View menu.
