It's simply decoration for text that is overflowing and when nothing is overflowing, there is no decoration. It the same as ellipses. For ::first-letter, you don't style when a word reaches 10 glyphs long and not style when the word is only 5 glyphs long. -- Alan Gresley http://css-3d.org/ http://css-class.com/
