Prevent line break in this case - html

Question

I am trying to prevent line breaking in this Html
http://jsfiddle.net/DD3v8/
It happens that when I resize my window, both icons and text break into new line. I've already tried with whitespace CSS property. I've tried also, a table approach, but the behaviour is the same
Can anyone figure what is happening?
Thanks in advance

try this:
.line {
height: 44px;
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
background-color: #6c7987;
white-space: nowrap;
position: relative;
}
.icon {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
height: 44px;
width: 90px;
background-color:
#FF0080;
color: white;
text-align: center;
line-height: 44px;
font-family: Arial;
float: left;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0;
}
.title {
position: absolute;
left: 90px;
color: white;
line-height: 44px;
text-align: left;
padding: 0 0 0 10px;
font-family: Arial;
float: left;
font-size: 12px;
display: inline;
white-space:nowrap;
}
.botoes {

The explanation is simple: with floating, you can't put more width to a holder, which is bigger than the holder's height, the float will automatically drops it, and breaks line.
If you use positions, use it like this:
CONTAINER (position: relative)
SUBelement (posision: absolute, top: 0, left: 0) < put to the top left
SUBelement (posision: absolute, bottom: 0, right: 0) < put to the bottom right

If I understand your problem correcly, you need to be able to resize the window width without having the text and the "x" icons jumping down, is so:
REMOVE CSS FROM .title
min-width: 500px;
