<snip> a user with bad eyes may choose to use bigger fonts </snip>
I have perfect eyesight but Ive been making a lot of use of firefox's font resizing abilities lately since my work PC got upgraded to one that can handle 1600 * 1200 resolution... (great for working in eclipse, bad for reading long pages in browsers...(especially at 60hz) )
Im wondering is there any kind of css style a designer can apply to a tag to force it not to wrap? (I know there is for table cells but Im not sure for the general case...)

Hi, Joe.
I'd rather not add any non breaking spaces to the messages. You don't know how long a message might become (typically each language needs another amount of words to express the same, and english is pretty short compared to others). The problem you actually have is a layout problem, and it should be dealt with in the UI.
So you better leave that problem to your HTML designer, who may choose to - make a layout that allows long messages - hack all the JSPs - delegate the problem to the browser that tries to word wrap everything so it fits on the user's screen.
I prefer the last one, since a user with bad eyes may choose to use bigger fonts and accepts to read more lines of text. Personally I use such features when I present some web application on a beamer....

Subject: i18n and
I have a number of property values that will be internationalized and need non-breaking spaces between each word in them.
I could put into each space, but that
1) is going to confuse my native language translators who know nothing of HTML. 2 words in english could be 3 in language-x).
2) would be wrong.
There doesn't appear to be any built in method of handling this with bean:message or anything else, so I'm about to write a custom configuration class for a separate Message Resource Bundle that will contain the properties where I want spaces displayed as " "'s
I have a hard time believing no one else has run into this...so I ask the
following:
Do I need to do this? Is there a way of doing it without writing a custom handler? or a better way of doing it? And if not, who wants to see the code when it's done? :-)
