At http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/text.html#h-9.1
we learn that tabs and line breaks are also white space, so they should 
be rendered as white space - the user agent has no way of knowing that 
you wanted nice looking code, not white space.

If you don't want to go the hack route, you just have to remove any 
white space, including line breaks and tabs.

tell how to deal with code formating in Home Site (I'm not Home Site 
user myself so I can't tell you more)

I used to have similar problems when I used Dreamweaver - it often 
insisted on adding line breaks and other white space. Now I'm using 
PHPEdit ( http://www.waterproof.fr/ ) and have no more problems - 
recommended!
