problem

I have a HTML list with this style:

font-weight: bold;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
display: block;
width:700px;
font-size: 14px;
white-space: pre-wrap;

and the cells have this style:

display: inline;

and I have spacer cells between each cell with this style:

padding-right: 20px;
display: inline;

My problem is that when the list is too long for its 700 pixels, it wraps. I want this, but I dont want the objects to be on two separate lines. I have tried the CSS white-space property, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

HI, I've just been experimenting with a CSS tooltip that fades in with CSS3's transitions.

So basically, what am I doing wrong/is what I was… >>> More
Poll: CSS3 color transparency

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Many of you already know that you can express colors in your stylesheets like: color: #FFF; color: #FFFFFF; color: rgb(255,255,255); color: hsl(100%,100%,100%); and that you can use rgba() and hsla() to express color transparency. Do you think it would be a good idea to be able to express color… >>> More
