I need help with a table where I have text in one of the td cells that goes beyond the right border and wraps to the next line. What I want is for the overflowing text to be hidden when it reaches the border, showing only the last 3 visible characters replaced by "...". Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Cheers, Marc.
For reference, please see the example here:

Tables do not support overflow.
To address this limitation, you can insert a div within the table.
Click here for a simple example based on your scenario.
The CSS property text-overflow can be used to display ellipses (...) at the end of overflowing content.
td {
max-width:1px; /* the magic touch! */
white-space:nowrap;
overflow:hidden;
}

Surprisingly, by using max-width with any numerical value, browsers recognize the desire to truncate content without setting an explicit width, allowing the content to expand as needed. This autosize crop feature is quite remarkable and appears to work across all major browsers including Microsoft Edge. (Apologies to Redmond for pointing this out.)
You can even add text-overflow:ellipsis for expected results.
