How to prevent line-break in a column of a table c

Question

How can I prevent automatic line breaks in a column of table (not a single cell)?

Answer 1

For completion sake:

#table_id td:nth-child(2)  {white-space: nowrap;}

Is used for applying a style to the 2 column of the table_id table.

This is supported by all major Browsers, IE started supporting this from IE9 onwards.

Answer 2

Just add

style="white-space:nowrap;"

Example:

<table class="blueTable" style="white-space:nowrap;">
   <tr>
      <td>My name is good</td>
    </tr>
 </table>

Answer 3

Put non-breaking spaces in your text instead of normal spaces. On Ubuntu I do this with (Compose Key)-space-space.
