FF v14 has the look I am seeking. IE9 does not hide overflow nor does it show the ellipsis. How can I fix this to work in IE9?

<tr class="row">
<td class="col">here is row 2 column 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

UPDATE
I noticed a validation error in visual studio:
Validation (CSS 2.1): 'text-overflow' is not a known CSS property name.
Does this mean I need to somehow explicitly specify a higher version of CSS? If yes, how?
