So, I'm sitting here working on the long-overdue next version of BLISS, the blogging engine which powers Rant of the Day, and I am, as per usual, battling to try to make things cross-browser compatible.
This time, however, through a cruel twist of fate, it's not IE which is 'misbehaving' as such - this time, it's the only browser which supports CSS which lets me do what I want. This is because MS have extended CSS to do these things - but they either haven't reccomended them for inclusion in the official CSS spec (thus allowing for cross-browser support) or they have, but too late to make a current CSS spec.
I can't even seem to find any nifty JavaScript snippets or anything that'll do the job instead. It seems that truncation other than at a set number of characters is just one of those things which is near-impossible.
