Question

white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
max-width: 100px;
width: 100px;

white-space is taking effect, but width is not? Why? Is it something to do with the CITE tag or perhaps Chrome?

Answer 1

cite is an inline element, so you have to specify display: block or display: inline-block for it to be constrained to width.
