I don't really have a page because I can't make anything work. I just
want a div with a very long non-breaking word/URL in it to get cut off
from the left side (overflow: hidden works fine to cut off the right).
Here's what I'm up to:
You've probably seen forums, etc. that truncate long URLs like
http://www.example.com/truncate/this/url/so/that/it/fits/in/the/window/
to http://www.example.com/trunca...n/the/window/.
I have a div containing only a URL that is sometimes too wide to fit in
the layout. I want to use JS to duplicate the the div, and then overlap
them so that one is left aligned and the other is right aligned and they
truncate the URL in the middle. Of course, I could do this server-side,
but I want it to be fluid-width so the URL expands to fit the box.
