有一个更简单、更优雅的解决方案。

在你想要应用截断的表格单元格中，只需包含一个带有css table-layout: fixed的容器div。这个容器获取父表单元格的全部宽度，因此它甚至可以响应。

确保对表中的元素应用截断。

工作在IE8+

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
     <div class="truncate">
       <h1 class="truncated">I'm getting truncated because I'm way too long to fit</h1>
     </div>
    </td>
    <td class="some-width">
       I'm just text
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

和css:

    .truncate {
      display: table;
      table-layout: fixed;
      width: 100%;
    }

    h1.truncated {
      overflow-x: hidden;
      text-overflow: ellipsis;
      white-space: nowrap;
    }

问题在于“table-layout:fixed”，它会创建间距均匀、宽度固定的列。但是禁用这个css属性将杀死文本溢出，因为表将变得尽可能大(并且没有任何东西可以溢出)。

我很抱歉，但在这种情况下，弗雷德不能鱼与熊掌兼得。除非房东一开始就给塞尔迪托更少的工作空间，否则弗雷德就不能使用他的…

我有同样的问题，但我需要显示多行(其中text-overflow:省略号;失败)。我解决它使用一个TD内的文本区域，然后样式它的行为像一个表格单元格。

    textarea {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        width: 100%;
        border: none;
        resize: none;

        /* Remove blinking cursor (text caret) */
        color: transparent;
        display: inline-block;
        text-shadow: 0 0 0 black; /* text color is set to transparent so use text shadow to draw the text */
        &:focus {
            outline: none;
        }
    }

你可以设置右边单元格的宽度为所需宽度的最小值，然后应用overflow-hidden+text-overflow到左边单元格的内部，但是Firefox在这里有bug…

不过，flexbox似乎能帮上忙

<table style="table-layout: fixed; max-width: 100%;">
    <tr>
        <td>
             <div style="overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap">This cells has more content</div>
        </td>
        <td>Less content here</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Yep I would say thirtydot has it, there is no way to do it unless you use a js method. You are talking about a complex set of rendering conditions that you will have to define. e.g. what happens when both cells are getting too big for their apartments you will have to decide who has priority or simply just give them a percentage of the area and if they are overfull they will both take up that area and only if one has whitespace will you stretch your legs in the other cell, either way there is no way to do it with css. Although there are some pretty funky things people do with css that I have not thought of. I really doubt you can do this though.
