You can't, you griping bastard. Just kidding. Well, just kidding about the "griping bastard" bit. Historically, CFFORM (and CF code generating tools in general) have never been very good about generating valid HTML. Believe it or not, it's a lot better now than it used to be in this regard. Unfortunately, better isn't necessarily good enough - your HTML is either valid or not. Without getting into whether you should care or not, the only option I can see is to perform some sort of post-processing to move the LINK where it belongs. You could do that with a post-processing servlet, or by using the onRequest event to capture and rewrite your generated code. Both approaches will be relatively difficult, but are certainly achievable if it's important enough. I suggest that you submit this as a bug to Adobe.
