就像samplebias答案一样，如果Javascript是一个可接受的答案，我专门为此目的做了一个jQuery插件:https://github.com/marcogrcr/jquery-tableoverflow

要使用插件，只需输入

$('selector').tableoverflow();

修复了jsfiddle的IE兼容性问题。 修复jsfiddle中更好的浏览器兼容性(Chrome, Firefox, IE8+)。

我最近一直在研究它。检查这个jsFiddle测试，自己尝试改变基本表的宽度来检查行为)。

解决方案是将一个表嵌入到另一个表中:

<table style="width: 200px;border:0;border-collapse:collapse">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td style="width: 100%;">
                <table style="width: 100%;border:0;border-collapse:collapse">
                    <tbody>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <div style="position: relative;overflow:hidden">
                                    <p>&nbsp;</p>
                                    <p style="overflow:hidden;text-overflow: ellipsis;position: absolute; top: 0pt; left: 0pt;width:100%">This cells has more content</p>
                                </div>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </tbody>
                </table>
            </td>
            <td style="white-space:nowrap">Less content here</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Fred现在对Celldito的扩张满意吗?

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.

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;
        }
    }

<table border="1" style="width: 100%;">
    <colgroup>
        <col width="100%" />
        <col width="0%" />
    </colgroup>
    <tr>
        <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-overflow:ellipsis; overflow: hidden; max-width:1px;">This cell has more content.This cell has more content.This cell has more content.This cell has more content.This cell has more content.This cell has more content.</td>
        <td style="white-space: nowrap;">Less content here.</td>
    </tr>
</table>

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;
    }
