    Default Pasting <input> tag creates unwanted linefeeds

    I have written a program that scans an html document and adds <a name> anchors
    and creates a Table of Contents document and triple frame parent. However,
    when pasting a string of text that includes an input tag <input ...> the result
    is a line feed prior to the input tag.

    Sample:

    <h3>Picture of Book <input src="../images/camera.gif"
    onClick="javascript:openLink('../flash/animation.swf')"><h3>

    expected output
    <h3><a name="Picture of Book "></a>Picture of Book <input
    src="../images/camera.gif"
    onClick="javascript:openLink('../flash/animation.swf')"><h3>

    actual output
    <h3><a name="Picture of Book "></a>Picture of Book
    <input src="../images/camera.gif"
    onClick="javascript:openLink('../flash/animation.swf')">
    <h3>

    notice how the pasting of the input tag into the DOM creates linefeeds

    How do I prevent this behavior.

    Default Re: Pasting <input> tag creates unwanted linefeeds

    Go to Edit > Tag Libraries... Then open the HTML folder and select the
    INPUT tag. That's where you specify Source Formatting.
