I learned html 1.0 (from a physical paper book) in 1995 before most anyone had heard of css or it was even a standard, and I still use nobr for everything from phone numbers, as mentioned, to making sure the last line of a dynamically sizable paragraph always contains at least 2 words for proper appearances sake. I didn't even know nobr was NOT standard anymore until today when I ran a page through the w3 org validator and it came up with a warning. Thanks much for the politically correct alternative though. (just have to look up what a "span" tag is now.) [grumble] Bah humbug, KIDS these days! Never heard of nobr. Bet they've never played a 45rpm record or an 8-track either. lol I am apalled!

It would be much better if you add the cross browser compatible list both for the Tag and CSS example you have given. Thnx David, Before seeing this post i hardly heard this tag exist.

Before I knew the css way, sometimes I'd make a table with one cell just to invoke . I'm not proud of it, but sometimes deadlines are pushy. I never knew about the nobr tag.

After googling for a while I finally found the white-space css but never came across the nobr tag.I guess it's for the best as I'd probably still be using it.
