That link points to an older version of the draft for CSS3-text. The latest version is here <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/> The only browser that is supposed to support the text-overflow property (per the older draft, I guess) is Safari 1.3 or 2.0x. I couldn't get them to work well, though. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/ SafariCSSRef/index.html> As Ingo points out, the MS implementation iis different from what the css3 draft suggest.
