I'm trying  to get table cells to clip content rather than wrapping.
It has been suggested to use:

 td.clipped {
   width: 5em;
   overflow: hidden;
   white-space: nowrap;
 }

However, that doesn't work in either Firefox or IE.  If I set
display:block, it sort of works in Firefox but IE (which is the target
for this intranet app) doesn't play the game at all.

table-layout:fixed doesn't seem to help either - or do I need to set
the widht of each column to make it work?

How can I force IE to clip table cells?
