Opera9 support text-overflow via -o-text-overflow. In Firefox we can use -moz-binding.

It truncates to a number of characters, which is trivial. The script above truncates based on actual _width_. If you truncated to a number of characters and you want to ensure that the text will fit within a given width, you need to base your calculation off of the widest character, which in reality may be some multiple of your narrowest character, e.g. "W" vs. "i".

For a lean solution, have a look at the Truncate plugin for jQuery: http://reindel.com/truncate/ Only 1k (compressed) -- 20k, including all the jQuery goodness -- with inline show/hide to boot.

I have two suggestions. Implement an alt parameter that contains all of the original text so when the cursor hoovers over the truncated text, the full text is displayed. The other would be to include a print version where the class then takes the full text. Regards John Z cool script. I have two suggestions.
