hmmm... a "non-breaking hyphen"? 2

[Rydel]

A bit unsual question... Is there a non-breaking hyphen (or minus sign) that always sticks with the next word. E.g. I have a string in HTML file "Belarus -Minsk" and I want that "minus" always stick together with "Minsk." How this can be achieved? I've looked through the character entity list in HTML 4 specs but couldn't find anything of this sort.

Not sure how supported if at all anymore, but try:
<NOBR>Belarus -Minsk</NOBR>

That's a No Break tag.

<nobr> is not standard HTML (though it works on most browsers). If you want your pages to validate, you can use CSS thus:
[tt]
<span style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;>Belarus - Minsk</span>
[/tt]

Perfect, thanks a lot, guys (well-deserved stars )! I completely forgot about <nobr>, and as of CSS it hasn't crossed my mind that it could be solved via CSS definition.
