I have a frame which is supposed to contain a list of links. The
clickable area of each link comprises a picture followed by some text.
I want the text to be cut at the right hand side when the user resizes
the frame to be "too narrow".
Right now, the source for that frame looks like this:
<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr style="backgrou nd-color:#C0C0C0">
<td align="center">
<a href="group1">G roup 1</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="menu">
<td>
<div style="whitespa ce:nowrap;overf low:hidden;widt h:auto;">
<a href="link1">
<img border="0" src="img1"> Text 1
</a>
</div>
<div style="whitespa ce:nowrap;overf low:hidden;widt h:auto;">
<a href="link2">
<img border="0" src="img1"> Some long text here
</a>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="backgrou nd-color:#C0C0C0">
<td align="center">
<a href="group2">G roup 2</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
But the text "Some long text here" is wrapped instead of clipped.
Suggestions?

Of course it is. You don't define height. Overflow controls overflow. If
there is no overflow, it can't be hidden. There can't be overflow to down
unless height is set, as normal behaviour is that element will be
streched.
Are you sure you are doing right thing? Frames, table layout and
overflow:hidden doesn't sound good.

D'oh. Thanks for pointing this out.
How do I say that I want the table rows to be tall enough to contain
the image and also one row of text (the maximum of these two)?

There could be two answers to this.
(A) Of course I know that I'm not doing the right thing, but do you
really have to rub it in?
(B) My boss wants it, so it must be right.
Take your pick ;-)
"Thou shalt make it look like this Windows app here", my boss said.
And that Windows app has a resizable outlook bar on the left hand
side. (It's the kind of bar that MS Outlook has on the left, the bar
contains several groups with icons, each of the icons serves as a
shortcut. The bar is resizable (width only, it stretches the whole
height of the window anyway) by the user by dragging the mouse.) Do
you know of a way to make such a thing without frames?
Oh, regarding the table layout, I plead guilty. I thought that it was
easy to get the "raised button" look by having a table cell with the
right content. But it seems that didn't work. So I'll try to find
another way to do this.
We even bought this hideously expensive JavaScript menu package just
so that we could get menus that look like in Windows XP...

You can't. Height aplied to table row acts roughly as min-height to other
elements. You would need to wrap contents of each td to something first.
(Didn't notice this probmlem at first as I never use table layout
anymore...)
To set height of that wrapper element you would use height of image and
1em, and then set one of them as height and other as min-height. Not
supported by IE, which I assume your thing needs to work. OTOH, IE has
bug that may help this, but I don't know what it thinks about overflow
You could try white-space:no-wrap and defined (100%) width supposing you
never want wrapping. That might have desired effect.

Never used Outlook bar (nor know what it would look like). Could be
possible with CSS and JS, but that wouldn't be any better. Seems that
this might be use for frames, as it is trying to be aplication, not
webpage.

Make it list? That would allow to make it quite easily. Hard to comment
on markup whitout knowledge on what kind of content it would have.

Okay, now I set the height. It's 20px which allows one row to be
visible. But it doesn't do what I need, either:
IE 6 tries to fit the element into a too-narrow column, so instead of
foo bar
it displays
foo
bar
instead. Now it cuts off the bottom part, so I only see
foo
But what I really wanted to see is, say,
foo b
with the "ar" part being cut off. I already added "whitespace:now rap"
to the list of styles to use for my <div>, but it didn't help.
Hm. Let me try "white-space:no-wrap", too... [time passes] No, that
doesn't help, either.
Life is difficult...

I had a hunch, so I tried to describe how the Outlook bar looks and
behaves ;-)

Hm, correct would be white-space:nowrap. Try that. (I wonder where the
logic is.) http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#white-space-prop
Do you have URL?
