Spaces in anchor text, no break 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

I have a bunch of links, the anchor text contains multiple words, when the space for the text runs out it splits the anchor across the next line.

How do I stop this and force the whole anchor to the next line if it doesn't fit.

I've tried

a {text-wrap:none}

but it doesn't work.

thanks,
1DMF

Try:

a {
   white-space: pre;
}

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi

Yes, that is what I was about to suggest, but renounced because
[ul]
[li]Does not work in Explorer 6, or at least not for me.[/li]
[li]You will have to pay attention how you write the HTML source, because it simply preserves the original whitespace characters, so \r, \n and \t too, if happens so.[/li]
[/ul]

Yeah , you're right feherke, and it ignores all the fixed widths on my TD and DIV and stretches the cell to fit the darn content regardless!

hmmm anything else I can do?

Hehe... I knew it was one of the white-space properties - guess I picked the wrong one ;-)

Or for the simplest of ideas, use   instead of the white space. 'Tis pretty much its intended use - a non-breaking space entity.
