Just add next css line to your html page
 <style type="text/css">
  .dhx_tab_element div {
  overflow:hidden;
  text-overflow:ellipsis;
  white-space:nowrap;
  }
 </style>


Beware that "text-overflow:ellipsis" has not cross browser support, it may have sense, just to change default tab height ( 3rd parameter of constructor ) and made two lines of text visible as the tab caption.

Hi ,
 I have used the above css for the above problem but it does not work on firefox ; It works fine on IE even without this css.

My label name on tab in too big and it gets cut.
What is the other solution ?

Thanks & Regards,
Lalit

Hi,

text-overflow:ellipsis works only for IE. Unfortunately, there are no similar solutions for FireFox.
