It works everywhere else (FF, Opera, Safari), but IE7 seems to not like the "?" in a url, and wraps it within a table cell.
Markup is a cell in a table like this: <td class="pan"><a href="foo.com?long_url=here">foo.com?long_url=here</a></td> CSS is: td.pan { overflow: hidden; width: 12em; } td.pan > *:first-child { display: block; overflow: hidden; width: 12em; } So when the URL is extremely long, it wraps at the "?" in the query_string. I tried replacing with something else "x" and it no longer wraps. So I tried entity encoding the question mark as "<" but it still wrapped instead of hiding the portion of the URL past 12ems. I also tried { white-space: nowrap; } on the td CSS rule, but that didn't do it either...again this is only IE7. -- Anthony Ettinger 408-656-2473 http://anthony.ettinger.name @pets = Pets.find_all_by_species('dog') @pets.each do |dog| { if dog.name == 'Farley' dog.nick = 'Sir Barks-A-lot' elsif dog.name == 'Bonita' dog.nick = 'Princess Boo' else dog.nick = 'Doggie?' end } ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
