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'; }

Interesting...i'll try that one. question is whether unsupported browsers may take the textOverflow but not use it.

CanIUse is a very helpful site for checking browser support - http://caniuse.com/#search=ellipsis.

Don't know how you can test if a browser supports something without testing which browser it is?! This thread covers a similar topic and may be of use.
