As an example, in both Firefox and Internet Explorer for Windows, a vertical-align
value specified for a table row will be applied to all the cells in that row. This is
incorrect, because vertical-align doesn??™t apply to table rows, and isn??™t inherited,
so such a setting should have no effect.

white-space
white-space: { normal | nowrap | pre | pre-line |
pre-wrap | inherit } ;
This property controls the handling of
whitespace inside an element.
Whitespace is a collective name for one
or more occurrences of the characters
space, tab, line feed, carriage return, and
form feed. Typically, within an HTML
element, user agents will collapse a
sequence of whitespace characters into
a single space character.
Note that this property only handles whitespace characters; a common beginner??™s
mistake is to try to use it to prevent floated elements from dropping down if there
isn??™t enough room on a line.
