How to put ellipsis on text in cells?

sanghviyash

Hey,
What I need is an ellipsis after 15 characters, or so. But on the onmousehover() event I need a tooltip with the original value of the cell. How I can accomplish this?
I need help with only the first part i.e. ellipsis.
I know thi squestion has been asked multiple times, but I couln't find the correct answer.
Thanks,
Yash

.table th, .table td { max-width: 200px; min-width: 70px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; }
