None of that examples you have showed works to me in Firefox. It don’t works yet, was just a simulation? I try all these codes:

#div {text-overflow: ellipsis; width:200px; height:20px; border:solid 1px #000000; }

#div {text-overflow: clip; width:200px; height:20px; border:solid 1px #000000; }

Tks.

Opera 9+ supports text-overflow partially using its vendor prefix: -o-text-overflow: ellipsis; but the example does not include this in the description / code.

Opera 8.5 exhibits some very strange behaviour on the text-overflow examples; when you hover the mouse over the boxes, it creates a scroll-bar in place of the box which allows you to scroll along the length of the text. Very odd.
