There is nothing that you can do that does not require some sort of
server side processing. "overflow:hidden" (CSS) is not an attribute you
can apply to a table cell directly.
If you are considering zero-width characters, which is a post-processing
step, then all sorts of other options are open as well, like converting
the URL to a real link, inserting spaces every nth character, adding the
<div>.
It sounds like you are using tables for layout. This is one of the
problems doing that.
There have been several discussions regarding this issue in the last
couple of months.
