preventing text to split in different lines

[davikokar]

Hallo,
I have a table inside another table cell. In the nested table there are two cells. One is containing a text of more than one word and the other cell width is set up to 100%. The problem is that the text in the first cell is splitted in two lines. In other words I want that one cell width is long as the text is containing and the other cell occupies the rest of the space.

thanks for suggestions

Use <td nowrap> or <td style="white-space: nowrap;"> for first cell, and set width for another large enough (say, 90%).

Try setting the nowrap parameter to your cell, where you don't want the text to be in two (or more) lines:

<td nowrap>Text text</td><td width="100%">The Rest</td>

or if you want a css solution:

<td style="white-space: nowrap;">Text text</td><td width="100%">The Rest</td>
