Add non-breaking space between required field label and asterisk in Yii

Question

I need to add a non-breaking space ( ) between the required field label and the *, to hopefully prevent the *'s from wrapping onto a new line (e.g. for the first field, I need the * to stay on the same line with at least one of the words in the label).

Can anyone help me find this in the Yii core? I've looked for a while.

Here's another example of where this is happening:

You need to override $afterRequiredLabel in CHtml.

The default value is currently set to ' <span class="required">*</span>'

You will want to change it to '&nbsp;<span class="required">*</span>'

You could change the Yii core, but this is not advisable. Instead, you should extend CHtml and reference your child class moving forward.
