Question

I would like to check supportability for the ellipsis overflow , not by querying the browser type or version. Is that possible?

I know that firefox versions < 7 are not supporting this.

thanks,
Tal

Didn’t try such approach but this may work:

function checkEllipsis() {
  var d = document.createElement('div');
  if(typeof d.style.textOverflow == 'undefined')
    return false;
  d.style.textOverflow = 'ellipsis';
    return d.style.textOverflow == 'ellipsis';
}
