Text string must not wrap

[Brian Tozer]

In a fluid page I have a couple of text strings that I do not want to wrap
as/if the page is resized.
e.g. 'BBC Three Counties Radio and BBC Radio Northampton'

How would I prevent the string from being broken between words as the page
is narrowed?

Thanks
Brian Tozer

"BBC Three Counties Radio and BBC Radio 
Northampton" (watch wrapping)

But a phrase that long will cause yukky horizontal scrollbars at a fairly
large window size (depending on font size, of course). And it could look
weird if it appears in the middle of a sentence (again depending to some
extent on window width and font size). e.g.:

My favourite radio stations are
BBC Three Counties Radio and BBC Radio Northampton, because they are really
good.

May I ask why you want to do this?

Try non braking spaces (&nbsp between the words or <P STYLE="white-space:
nowrap">

Hi Mark, thanks to both who answered my query.
I am creating a web page for a broadcaster journalist who has appeared on
both stations and she was stipulating that each appear nonwrapped. I
concatenated them both in the example to clarify my request.

Regards from over the ditch in Godsown.

Oh, well - if she's the one who is paying the bills...
