preventing horizontal list from breaking

[crippletoe]

Hi all, i am looking for a way to prevent a horizontal, inline unordered list from breaking into seperate lines once contained inside a element with specific width (shorter than the list). the element has "overflow" set to "hidden".

the only way i found to create that effect is by giving a specific width to the "UL" element but now, i have to create that effect for a list with unknown width!! (user can add items to list). is there any other way? it would help me so much!!

thank you all

You could use JavaScript to set the width of UL, add up all of the LI's widths together, and then set the UL width.

Or i think if you set the UL's whitespace to:

white-space: nowrap;

And put the LI's display to:

display:inline;

I think ( but im not 100% sure ), i think it might work.
