Only show text that fits in <div>?

Hi

Is it possible to only show the part of a text that can fit into a div?

I have this css:

[CODE]#cell {
line-height: 18px;
display: inline;
float: left;
}[/CODE]

But it makes a linebreak if the width of the div is to small! I just want it to hide what does not fit in!

@dbkauthorNov 29.2010 — well the width is a persentage of the screen!

Is it possible to only allow one line?

Success!
