Re: CSS to trim overly long node titles

Nice idea. Thanks alot for putting this up Eliya. :)
I'm not sure where you found the a.nnt-link style but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I looked at the CSS and found h3.other

h3.other {
  max-width: 30em;
  display: block;
  margin-right: 5px;
  white-space: nowrap; 
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis; 
}

p a {
  max-width: 50em;
  display: block;
  float: left;
  margin-right: 5px;
  white-space: nowrap; 
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis; 
}

This works - ok - right now. (Though also in the "works for me" stage) Adjust the max-width to your taste.

I don't find this to be a too much of a recurring problem IMO but it's definitely a nice option to have for stretches when PM node titles trend long. Again, thank you Eliya for bringing it up and providing a solution all at once. ++

UPDATE: added the p a style.

I'm not sure where you found the a.nnt-link style I looked at the page source :) `a.nnt-link` is a selector for `<a>` tags with the `class` attribute value `"nnt-link"` (set by PM) — which is what my attempts focused on. For example, the respective link in RAT view pointing to your reply (currently) looks like this: `<a class="nnt-link nnt-Steaming" href="?node_id=898077" title="Created + at 2011-04-07 16:35 (2 minutes ago)">Re: CSS to trim overly long nod +e titles</a>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I looked at the page source :) Oh yeah that! :-D Not sure why but I don't see it on any of the style sheets. The `p a` style was the closest I got to what you did but that ends up getting a little messy with the `float: left;` on other links.
