Although there s CSS defines a text-wrap property  it s not supported by any major browser  but maybe vastly supported white-space property solves your problem

You can use it like this  I hope you wont get outdated message now       lt td valign  top  style  white-space nowrap  width  237  gt    As pointed by  ThiefMaster it is recommended to put width and valign to CSS  note  CSS calls it vertical-align    1    lt td style  white-space nowrap  width 237px  vertical-align top   gt    2   We can make a CSS class like this  it is more elegant way  In style section    td-some-name     white-space nowrap    width 237px    vertical-align top      In HTML section   lt td class  td-some-name  gt

There are several ways to try to prevent line breaks  and the phrase    a newer construct    might refer to more than one way   that   s actually the most reasonable interpretation  They probably mostly think of the CSS declaration white-space nowrap and possibly the no-break space character  The different ways are not equivalent  far from that  both in theory and especially in practice  though in some given case  different ways might produce the same result   There is probably nothing real to be gained by switching from the HTML attribute to the somewhat clumsier CSS way  and you would surely lose when style sheets are disabled  But even the nowrap attribute does no work in all situations  In general  what works most widely is the nobr markup  which has never made its way to any specifications but is alive and kicking   lt td gt  lt nobr gt     lt  nobr gt  lt  td gt
