Disabling text-wrapping for f:selectItem tags

Oct 3rd, 2008

The example code below produces two radio buttons, side by side, i.e.
O Keywords O All Fields

Without specifying a width for the selectOneRadio component (which I don't think is the best solution because of user controllable font sizes, etc), "All Fields" wraps across two lines to become:
O All
Fields
... which is a blight on my otherwise neat looking page.

In the code below, does anyone know how to force the space in "All Fields" to be non-breaking or how to style the selectOneRadio or selectItem's so that text-wrapping doesn't occur?

 JSP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<h:selectOneRadio disabledClass="selectOneRadio_Disabled" enabledClass="selectOneRadio_Enabled" id="radio1" styleClass="selectOneRadio" value="{searchPageBean.searchCriteria.searchOption}" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
	<f:selectItem itemValue="keywords" itemLabel="Keywords"/>
	<f:selectItem itemValue="all" itemLabel="All Fields"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<h:selectOneRadio disabledClass="selectOneRadio_Disabled" enabledClass="selectOneRadio_Enabled" id="radio1" styleClass="selectOneRadio" value="{searchPageBean.searchCriteria.searchOption}" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
	<f:selectItem itemValue="keywords" itemLabel="Keywords"/>
	<f:selectItem itemValue="all" itemLabel="All Fields"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>

I've tried, but without success:
- including "text-wrap: none;" and "white-space: nowrap" in the selectOneRadio's style attribute.
- wrapping the selectOneRadio &/or selectItem's in divs styled to have text-wrap set to none.
- replacing "All Fields" with "All Fields", but that just prints the latter.

I know it's a small issue, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
