How to make a sentence stay inline?

[Tadas]

Hello everyone,

I have a small box (fixed width and height) with some text in it. It’s great if the string fits in it or if it’s just one word (even if too long), then only the part that fits is visible (using overflow:hidden). The problem is, that if the string is more than one word I would like it to stay on the line and just hide what doesn’t fit without the text going to the other line.

I hope I made myself clear.
If not, maybe this will:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The easiest solution that comes to me is to wrap the text in a <p></p>, then set a higher width than the divs’ one.

Just add

Code:

white-space:nowrap;

Exactly what needed! Thank you so much!
