Attribute for <TD ...>
NOWRAP

NOWRAP indicates that text should not wrap in the cell. NOWRAP serves much the same purpose as the <NOBR> tag. For example, the following cell will not wrap not matter how long the text.

this code produces this 
<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=3>
<TR>

<TD NOWRAP>This is a really long sentence, but I would prefer it not wrap at all any time.</TD>
