This: "text-overflow: ellipsis;" is all that is needed now in all current versions of IE, Opera, Firefox, Chrome & Safari so only need the work arounds (and "-o-text-overflow:") for older browser support.

What about a multi-line text solution? This will only work for single line of text. What for-example if I have place for 3 lines of text and I wand that '...' is added in the last line where the text is clipped?
