Forcing text in one line 2

[seaport]

Limited by the width in a table column, text in the cell always have line break unless it is just one word. How can I force the text in the cell to be in just one line (without any line break)?

Thanks.

If the text is constant (that is, not coming from a database), replace every space in the text with the string

 

But if the text is too wide for the cell, part of the text won't show up or the cell will expand to fit the text, breaking your layout, depending on the options in the table directive. If you specify

style="table-layout:fixed">

the cell contents will not display completely, but your layout is preserved. If you don't, the table cell will expand to accommodate your text, and potentially break your layout.

Alternatively, this should work:

<table>
<tr>
<td style="white-space:nowrap;">All on one line</td>
</tr>
</table>
[code]
Obviously you can apply that CSS through a stylesheet too.
