[WSG] Using ellipsis to indicate truncated overflow content
Hello, Is anyone able to offer suggestions as to how demonstrate to the user that overflow content has been truncated, like this (see attachment). There are some jQuery solutions available but I was hoping for a CSS-only solution, especially one that could cope with flexible column widths. If anyone could offer suggestions I would be grateful. Thank you and regards, Grant Bailey (attachment) *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***attachment: Capture.JPG

Matthew, Thank you, yes, the text-overflow property is great but does not work in Firefox 3.6. Do you know of a work-around for Firefox.
