Hello Golo! This property is part of the CSS3 standard, which is (at this moment) a working draft and not yet final. According to the draft it should be possible to replace the three dots by a custom string or image, but Microsoft has only implemented the overflow modes clip, ellipsis and ellipsis-word. Kind regards Jonathan

Hi Jonny,

that’s a really great feature :-) … Do you know whether text-overflow:ellipsis is W3C compatible, or is it something proprietary?

Have a nice day,

Golo
