[css-d] IE7 wraping URLs at the "?" part...

[Anthony Ettinger]

It works everywhere else (FF, Opera, Safari), but IE7 seems to not
like the "?" in a url, and wraps it within a table cell.

Markup is a cell in a table like this:

<td class="pan"><a href="foo.com?long_url=here">foo.com?long_url=here</a></td>

CSS is:

td.pan { overflow: hidden; width: 12em; }
td.pan > *:first-child { display: block; overflow: hidden; width: 12em; }

So when the URL is extremely long, it wraps at the "?" in the
query_string. I tried replacing with something else "x" and it no
longer wraps. So I tried entity encoding the question mark as "&#60;"
but it still wrapped instead of hiding the portion of the URL past
12ems.

I also tried { white-space: nowrap; } on the td CSS rule, but that
didn't do it either...again this is only IE7.
