I have a dropdown menu within HTML page where the option items are a long text. Problem is that IE8 cuts them off.

Is it possible that IE8 can support them?

This is the jfiddle that I am referring to and which works as I want but not in IE8.

CSS

.myselect {
    width: 150px;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.myselect option {

    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 100%
}

Thanks.
