The first attachment is wrong, the second is correct. This is invalid, 
white-space:nowrap refers to how the whitespace within the text is handled not 
how linebreaks inbetween elements are handled.

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#propdef-white-space

nowrap - This value collapses whitespace as for 'normal', but suppresses line 
breaks within text except for those created by "\A" in generated content (e.g.,
for the BR element in HTML).
