Yes, I use it only sparingly and in places I know there'll be no long lines:
<div><span>!<span>Error code #123</div>
I can force the above to display all in one line by not collapsing the white-space on the div.
Back to the def term... er... I don't know what to suggest other than fiddling with the floats, and the paddings etc, using a table and applying vertical-align to the cells or setting the display of the dt and dd to "table-cell", applying vertical-align : middle to them and crossing your fingers..
You may have to set the dl to display : table; for the third option?
Cheers James

That's kinda risky though if the content is dynamic because one long line could break the layout. I try to avoid using nowrap's or non-breaking spaces wherever possible. Just my $0.02...*****************************************************

off the top of my head
white-space :pre; /* possibly nowrap or whatever the other one is */
on the long term 1 will force it to be rendered in a line - I use this when I don't want lines broken.

If anyone has a few minutes and a couple of spare brain cells I'd appreciate some help with a definition list problem in IE6.
I guess the reference point is Russ's demo at: http://www.maxdesign.com.au/presentation/definition/dl-table-display.html. The example works fine unless you end up with two lines of text on the left hand side - then things go pear shaped.
----------- ----------- Term 1 Def 1 ----------- ----------- Term 2 Def 2 ----------- ----------- Term 3 Def 3 ----------- -----------
That's all fine but in IE6 you can end up with the following when you have a long term.
----------- ----------- Long Term Def 1 1 ----------- ----------- Def 2 Term 2 ----------- ----------- Def 3 Term 3 ----------- -----------
Does anyone have any ideas of how this can be fixed up. I'd imagine having a clear:both on the dt would clear things up but it doesn't. Looks great in Firefox though :)
Cheers
Mark
