div with display inline & span not working with text-overflow ellipsis

[shefali_sinha]

sorry, some nested html messed up my last post about this. Heres my 2nd attempt to post this. ******************************* Hi, I have text like this: text that is very very very long and this text on same line to follow ellipsis It needs to be displayed in Intenet Explorer like this: text that is ... and this text on the same line to follow ellipsis. I have tried div and span tags, all give me the same problem, either the text has a line break after ellipsis, or the text does not break, but there are no ellipsis. What I've tried: 1.

text that is very very long

and this text on the same line to follow ellipsis 2.

Try:

<span style="display:inline-block; width:30px; white-space:nowrap; text-overflow:ellipsis; overflow:hidden;">text that is very very long</span> and this text on the same line to follow ellipsis

Note: this will only work in IE. Mozilla does not support either display:inline-block or text-overflow:ellipsis. Opera does support display:inline-block, but not text-overflow:ellipsis, so the first text will be cut off, but there will be no ellipsis between it and the second text.
