hi friends
is there any style property or property value like
text-overflow: ellipse;
i was wondering how i can show ellipse (three dots) instead of hiding the overflowing contens in my <DIV>. I found this option in some sites but when i applied it in my css, it doesnt work.
Any comments?

shinu.This sort of thing is usually done by trimming your text with ASP/PHP (or possibly JS) and physically placing a "..." on the end. Ala GamingHeadlines.co.uk which does it using the ASP Left() function.text-overflow is IE6+/Win only.

It's like the real police: to serve and protect (the language).
OK, it's really like the real police: it's a power trip.
