How to prevent text in a table cell from wrapping

by

Have a look at the white-space property, used like this:

th {
    white-space: nowrap;
}

This will force the contents of <th> to display on one line.

From linked page, here are the various options for white-space:

normal
This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of white space, and break lines as necessary to fill line boxes.

pre
This value prevents user agents from collapsing sequences of white space. Lines are only broken at preserved newline characters.

nowrap
This value collapses white space as for ‘normal’, but suppresses line breaks within text.

pre-wrap
This value prevents user agents from collapsing sequences of white space. Lines are broken at preserved newline characters, and as necessary to fill line boxes.

pre-line
This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of white space. Lines are broken at preserved newline characters, and as necessary to fill line boxes.
