IE10 text-overflow ellipsis not working - internet-explorer-10

Question

I have an <a> tag in html, and I want it to be ellipsis. But when I add a <div> inside the <a> tag, 'text-overflow' doesn't work.
HTML:
<div class=boxed>
<h1>text-overflow Attribute Sample</h1>
<a href="#" class="caption">
<!----><div style="width:100px;height:20px;border: 1px solid red"></div>
Each box (div element) below contains the following text:
</a>
</div>
CSS:
div.boxed {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid blue;
font: 14px Times New Roman, serif;
overflow:hidden;
'position:relative;
}
a.caption {
overflow:hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
float:left;
text-align:left;
}

After removing the <div>, the 'text-overflow' works again.

Answer 1

First of all, div is a block level element and a is an inline level element, so you cannot use a div inside an anchor tag b...so you should use any other inline tag (like small , span etc)
Secondly, if you have to use a div inside div, you can wrap your text in another tag like this ....
<div class=boxed>
<h1>text-overflow Attribute Sample</h1>
<div class="caption">
<!----><div style=" width:100px;height:20px;border: 1px solid red"></div>
<span class='textTrunc'>Each box (div element) below contains the following text:</span>
</div>
and css of class textTrunc:
.textTrunc{
overflow:hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
display:block;
}
