jQuery (or textOverflow) taking too long
<p>When we detect Firefox, we call</p>

<pre><code>jQuery('.trunc').textOverflow();
</code></pre>

<p>but if the page is long, Firefox puts up the "unresponsive script" alert. I believe the actual problem is in the initial jQuery call (when it finds all matching DOM elements by their CSS).</p>

<p>I'm no jQuery expert but it looks like it really favors a style where it builds up lists of selected items and passes them down a chain. So there may not be a great workaround. But, is there one? I don't care about chaining, I just want to send textOverflow to relevant elements.</p>
