    Hi all,

    I want to know is there any solution to get away from Character wrap.
    i.e we heard of word-wrap, to similar that I need character should wrap but unfortunately it has been truncated while displaying longest word (e.g. Bookmarked/Discussions)in the browser.

    Note: We can use "overflow:auto", it will fix the issue but I don't want the horizontal scrollbar to display in the browser.
    Even I tried "text-wrap:suppress" but the property fail to detect in the Firefox.

    Thanks in Advance

    Try

    white-space:nowrap;

    to the element you don't want to wrap.

    Hi Tetsuo,
    The text should wrap without truncating the same. I'll give pictorial representation what exactly I'm expecting,
