How to show ellipses to the overflew text for HTML elements in Firefox?

I need to show the ellipses(...) if the text overflows in DIVs and SPANs.

I have a CSS attribute called text-overflow:ellipses. But this works only in IE.

I want to display the same in other browsers like Firefox/Chrome etc..

There is also a jQuery plugin that will add the ellipses for Firefox.

text-overflow: ellipsis works on a few other browsers, like Safari. Opera uses -o-text-overflow.

This property is not implemented in Firefox ..
They mention that you can use the -moz-binding to simulate this
