I'm having several problems with text wrapping today (what fun!), the simple kind too, not even around stuff.

Anyway, first question... I have a table, with some info in it, no matter what happens I want this info all on one line, widen the column if necessary, scroll off to the right if need be, truncate it, whatever... but instead, it's going on two lines, is there a CSS command to help me with this? Google is bein no help this afternoon.

Thanks,
Rob

Code: 
<body><table><tr><td nowrap>asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf 
asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdafasdfsdafasdfsdafasdfsdaf  asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf asdfsdaf</td></tr></table>
</body>

here you go

the nowrap attribute can be use with body, and div as well

now if you specify a width for the cell or table then that will cancel out the nowrap.

this link from MS should explain better what I have above

what i meant to say is that nowrap overrules the width of cells and divs

or since you were looking for a css solution:

<td style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;>This won't wrap</td>

ahh... the CSS solution is even better, seeing as all these cells already have a class, thanks to you both.
