Is it possible to set No Break on via CSS?

white-space: no-wrap;

is the css equivalent of nowrap.

What I'm working at is a 3 column layout of data, where in each column contains an Extension, an icon (for out of office) and a name. The span containing the name can only be some width, if the name is Bob Asareallylonglastname, Bob will show up on the first line, and Asareallylonglastname will wrap to the next line. I need to keep in on one line. I used to use the html tag <NOBR>...</NOBR> but I was wondering if there is a way to do that via CSS.

Oh, and unless changed into block level elements, spans cannot have width. Even though that most used browser will acknowledge it.

That would answer one of my next questions

So how could I set up a Div to crop anything that goes outside of it's area?

This is the style I have for the name div. Unfortunatly, the White-space style isn't preventing 'Bob Asareallylonglastname' from wrapping. And if I use <NOBR> the text extends outside of this div.

div.Name{
	POSITION:absolute;
	LEFT:51;
	WIDTH:200;
	WHITE-SPACE:no-wrap;}

don't forget to use units (such as px) in your [tt]left[/tt] and [tt]width[/tt] styles.

Me again. I put the PITA up on my site so you can see what it is doing. If the Name value is short enough for the div's width, it's put on line 1. But if it is longer then the remaining space on line 1, it is put on line 2. Once it's on line 2 it crops correctly. What I'm trying to do is to get the whole div on one line (ext, out of office icon, name). And just crop any of the name that doesn't fit. Any pointers?

Ahh well, a little beating and a little position:absolute and I got it close enough. I put the corrected code on the posted link if anyone else runs into a thing like this.
