Keeping Text Together (No Line Breaks) 2

[BoulderBum]

I want to keep all text within a certain span together in a flow layout (such that if any text goes to a new line, it all does). Is there an element or style or something that can help me accomplish this?

Put nowrap inside of the open-tag that surrounds the text (even if it's the BODY tag). I know this works in quirks mode on IE6. You might want to experiment some.

'hope this helps.

Thanks, dude.

Looking into the nowrap attribute/marker lead me to the <NOBR> tag which ended up being easier to implement for my purposes, but I wouldn't have found it without ya!

<nobr> is somewhere between the worst and the worst option you could choose. Element was never part of any standards (except IE3) and you can actually expect a bunch of unexpected results using that tag. I would suggest nicely supported css solution for that:

white-space: nowrap;

Fortunately we're standardized on IE (it's an intranet app), but that is certainly the superior solution. Thanks man!
