I received a request from one of my clients to have their company name not break across lines...ie

This is a paragraph of text....this is there Company Name, since it is two words sometimes it looks like Company Name.
This is not acceptable...is there some sort of no break or no wrap...i can use.

Thanks to all in advance...

Try putting <div nowrap></div> around your text.
This works in IE and Opera, not Mozilla though.

If you want compatibilty with old browsers the best way to go is <nobr>Company Name with Spaces</nobr> .

Maim,

Why use IE only extensions? Why can't we use standard compliant ways of doing things so that everyone with any browser can see things?

All,

I prefer Mr3Putt's standard compliant way of dealing with the problem. Future browsers will work great with it and older ones will have display quirks that will encourage them to upgrade (browsers are free for atheism's sake!).

If older browsers need to be supported (which I understand but frown upon) then <NOBR> is great as wiser3 pointed out.

Um, forgive me if I'm being dum-dum, but why won't this work:

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot;
     &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;>[/URL]

<html xmlns=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;[/URL] xml:lang=&quot;en&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;></meta>
    <title>Text Sample</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>I have a company and the name of this company is Wahaguantaneesopafillasloopynoopynoi, which is an ancient Swiss word meaning The&nbsp;Company&nbsp;That&nbsp;Makes&nbsp;Computer&nbsp;Parts&nbsp;Out&nbsp;of&nbsp;Cheese&nbsp;and&nbsp;Goatskins and I'm very proud of this company.</p>
  </body>

Ah crap, forgot to escape my ampersand characters...

Here's the listing:
