CSS Validator is saying my usage of text-wrap:suppress is invalid

Question

I am using the W3C CSS Validator and it says that I have an error with the following code:

Property text-wrap doesn't exist : suppress suppress

.fieldLabelRed
{
    padding:0px 2px 0px 2px;
    margin:0px 10px 0px 0px;
    color:#FF0000;
    text-wrap:suppress; <--- This line
}

I have looked at the CSS manual, and this is what I've found, but I don't see anything wrong: Text Wrap Settings: the 'text-wrap' property

I have validated using CSS 2.1 as well as 3.0 and both give the same error.

Answer 1

I'd try white-space:nowrap; instead. I believe that validates correctly, but haven't tried it.

Answer 2

This must be a bug in the CSS validator. However, does it matter whether or not the CSS validates as long as it's working?

Answer 3

Or, try word-wrap: break-word as described in this article from webdesignerwall.com which has come in handy for me several times.
