Replace Line breaks

[Sunny]

Hi does anyone knows, How to remove line breaks from a string using
javascript.
I have a string like:
<div <div class="style1">Yates<br>-47.13

but somehow the javascript is displaying string "-47.13"
as
-
47.13
It is treating a "-" sign as a line break.
Any comments.

That's not possible. Something else is causing line breaks here. Maybe
one of your <div>s is too narrow.

Wrapping the entire number -47.13 as <nobr>-47.13</nobrcould fix it,
at least in IE7.

Hi Thanks, It fixed the problem.

<nobris not (and never was) part of the HTML specification. Even if it
had been, it would be deprecated by now, because display formatting is
the job of CSS. A correct and portable way to prevent line breaks would
be something like this:

<style type="text/css">
..nobr { white-space: nowrap; }
</style>
....
<span class="nobr">-47.13</span>
