    Replace Line breaks

    Hi does anyone knows, How to remove line breaks from a string using
    javascript.
    I have a string like:
    <div <div class="style1"> Yates<br>-47.13

    but somehow the javascript is displaying string "-47.13"
    as
    -
    47.13
    It is treating a "-" sign as a line break.
    Any comments.

      That's not possible. Something else is causing line breaks here. Maybe
      one of your <div>s is too narrow.

          Wrapping the entire number -47.13 as <nobr>-47.13</nobrcould fix it,
          at least in IE7.

                  Hi Thanks, It fixed the problem.
                  <nobris not (and never was) part of the HTML specification. Even if it
                  had been, it would be deprecated by now, because display formatting is
                  the job of CSS. A correct and portable way to prevent line breaks would
                  be something like this:

                  <style type="text/css">
                  ..nobr { white-space: nowrap; }
                  </style>
                  ....
                  <span class="nobr">-47.13</span>
