CSS text overflow flexible columb width

recently i was trying to make columb for a bulk text which needs to get hidden like the gmail subject
i used

overflow:hidden;white-space:nowrap;
 
which works perfectly in firefox...but to make it work in IE and firefox i need to use

text-overflow:ellipsis;overflow:hidden;white-space:nowrap;width:300px;

which again works fine in both but then i dont have a flexible width...for which i tried width:100%; instead of width:300px; but this dosnt work in IE.

can anyone tell me how to emulate the gmail subject columb?
