[html] How do I prevent DIV tag starting a new line?

I want to output a single line of text to the browser that contains a tag. When this is rendered it appears that the DIV causes a new line. How can I include the content in the div tag on the same line - here is my code.

<?php 
  echo("<a href=\"pagea.php?id=$id\">Page A</a>") 
?>
<div id="contentInfo_new">
  <script type="text/javascript" src="getData.php?id=<?php echo($id); ?>"></script>
</div>

I have tried to tidy it up here. How can I have this display on a single line?

Add style="display: inline" to your div.

You can simply use:

#contentInfo_new br {display:none;}

div is a block element, which always takes up its own line.

use the span tag instead

A better way to do a break line is using span with CSS style parameter white-space: nowrap;

span.nobreak {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

or
span.nobreak {
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

Example directly in your HTML

<span style='overflow:hidden; white-space: nowrap;'> YOUR EXTENSIVE TEXT THAT YOU CAN´T BREAK LINE ....</span>

<div style="float: left;">
<?php 
  echo("<a href=\"pagea.php?id=$id\">Page A</a>") 
?>
</div>
<div id="contentInfo_new" style="float: left;">
  <script type="text/javascript" src="getData.php?id=<?php echo($id); ?>"></script>
</div>

use float:left on the div and the link, or use a span.

I am not an expert but try white-space:nowrap;

The white-space property is supported in all major browsers.

Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit".

Use css property - white-space: nowrap;
