I want my one-line paragraph can be scrolled when it is overflow in div tag.
But the string in the paragraph has minus sign of "-" that will
break the one line into two lines. WHy ?

I want it displayed in one line even minus-sign in the string so I
tried to replace "-" minus sign by &#45 that is html code. But it is not
working, it still breaks it into two lines.

Now it is displayed as follow if "-" is inside
aaaaaaa-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I want
aaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Please advise and read my simple attached php html code
Duncan

<html><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><head></head><body><?phpecho "<div style='overflow-x:scroll;overflow-y:scroll;background-color:yellow;width:300px;height:300px;font-size:14px'>";echo<p>aaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p>";echo '</div>';?></body></html>

Reminder or memo: nbsp mean non-breaking space not just space for html entity

- is exactly the same as - so it will have exactly the same behaviour.

The   works because that's what it's supposed to do (Non Breaking SPace)

why &#45 is not working ?
I replaced space with   that is working if space is inisde to break the line

Chris is right. '-' is one of the few characters that will allow text wrapping because that is the way it has traditionally been used.

500 points EXCELLENT

Try white-space:

<p style="white-space: nowrap;">aaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p>
