aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

and [window](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/161285/how-does-the-window-console-object-work-in-javascript) width less that width of the paragraph (a's + b's + c's). Currently scroll will appear only if width of any of [components](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/74096/understanding-the-role-of-some-integral-ac-components) (a, b, or c) is more \ that width of the window and over components are carried to the new lines. I want contents of each paragraph appear on the same line with a scroll. How can \ I treat each paragraph as a [string](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1527/string-split-in-c-sharp), so contents of the paragraph is treated like a single line?\ Thanks in [advance](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/33258/jee-mains-and-jee-advance-exams)! ## Replies ### Reply by AVADHESH PATEL Hi Jayprakash!\ try this way, i hope it resolve your problem\ p { white-space: nowrap; overflow: auto} --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/forum/705/make-text-in-paraghapghs-in-div-overflow-instead-of-new-lines Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
