How can I prevent floated div elements from wrapping when the browser is re-sized?

by

Wrap them in another div, which has a width (or min-width) specified.

<div class="parentContainer">
    <div class="floater"></div>
    <div class="floater"></div>
    <div class="floater"></div>
</div>

.parentContainer {
    /* The width of the parent needs to be equal to the total width of the children.
    Be sure to include margins/padding/borders in the total. */
    width: 600px;
    overflow: auto;
}

It also helps to have overflow: auto specified on the containing div, to allow its height to match the child floats.
