Having a heck of a time with getting this formatting correct so any ideas would be appreciated. we have a bunch of information pertaining to foos that we want to keep grouped together. So if we had a bunch of foos listed next to each other, if that element causes the foos to wrap, the entire foo would stay together. Also the formatting should look like: So the text is to the left and the numbers are to the right.
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|[icon] Brad (human) [pic] (2) [pic] (3)|
|-----------------------------------------------------|
So the main icon is leftmost then the name and model, and then right aligned is the siblings , and kids (with css embedded icons for each).
Each foo can have the following:
foo.id = 12345
foo.name = 'brad'
foo.model = 'human'
foo.image = ''
foo.kids = 3
foo.siblings = 2
foo.link = ''

</html>The important part is I want to keep the entire foo together, in one big chunk since I use this structure all over the page. If needed the structure of the foo can change, I have complete control over it.

The secret code To force a web browser to treat 2 separate words as if they were 1, use the code instead of a space, like so: These two words are like one.
CSS text formatting properties is used to format text and style text. Text-color property is used to set the color of the text. Text-color can be set by using the name “red”, hex value “#ff0000” or by its RGB value“rgb(255, 0, 0). Text alignment property is used to set the horizontal alignment of the text.
The white-space:nowrap style does prevent the "foo" divs from breaking, but I also found it caused them to blow out of the width defined in the "content" div.
I found the following worked in IE, Firefox, and Chrome (pc only, don't have access to a Mac just now)
div.foo
{
display:inline-block;
}
