You can use the overflow property to either display a scrollbar or cut off the text. Another option would be to use a server side or client side script to shorten links.

I also rushed the design of this site and did it 90% in the web developer toolbar CSS editor. I could as well have floated them all to the right and shown them there. Wait-till-I.com is not there to win design prices - I am a bad designer. I might change the non-JavaScript styles of these overlays but frankly you are the first to complain.

It is just not wise to constrain content in your design as there will be situations where this will not be enough and your design will be shot. Sarven:
