Limit text length to n lines using CSS
(17 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have this element that contains a string which exceeds the space available. Text should be displayed on two lines only. I need text-overflow: ellipsis to be triggered but it's not happening here. What am I doing wrong?
<div><span>IpsumLorem Traborditum orb Porfalohyrm</span></div>
div{
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
line-height: 20px;
padding: 8px 6px 6px;
height: 44px;
width: 133px;
}

You need white-space: nowrap; for text-overflow: ellipsis; to work properly:

Remove padding from your CSS and it will work fine
CSS
div {
line-height: 20px;
height: 44px;
width: 133px;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

On (my site) I would like to place the menubar in the center of the page.
Here the code of my menubar:
#navigation {
padding-bottom: auto;
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
overflow: hidden;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border: 0px solid;
border-radius: 15px;
color: #000000;
display: inline-block;
}
Thanks in advance for helping me! :)
Add width: 100%; to your #navigation for a full-wdith centered menu.
Or change the display to block for a centered menu without a full-width background.
If you want to keep the yellow line under, add a 1px bottom margin. This will shift the rest one pixel lower and it will reveal a yellow line.
margin-bottom: 1px

Switch display: inline-block; to display: block;
I guess you need to understand something about block and inline-block elements.
Block elements , if sized and smaller than page/container can basicly; be centered with margin:auto;.
Inline-block element behaves like text and can follow text-align value.
To center your menu , you have then 2 options:
margin:auto; with a block formating, you need then just to remove your inline-block display wich does:
#navigation {
padding-bottom: auto;
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
overflow: hidden;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border: 0px solid;
border-radius: 15px;
color: #000000;
}
or
text-align:center; from its parent if as an inline boxe. Wich would be here :
.bg-wrapper {
text-align:center;
}
If inline-block was here used to trigger some special layout , like to hold floatting elements, you could here turn display:block into display:table;.

I have a div with text inside, with a line-height that is more than the height of the text. This means there is space on top and below each line of text.
There is a vertical border along the right hand side, the top of which I want to be aligned with the top of the text. I need to somehow align the text to the top of it's line.
Is this possible or can someone help me out here?
div{
border-left: 1px solid black;
line-height: 30px;
}
<div>Hello</div>
Without messing with the line-height:
div{
position: relative;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 24px;
width: 25px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
}
div:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
top: 6px;
left: 0px;
bottom: 6px;
width: 0px;
border-left: 1px solid black;
}
The values top and bottom should equal (line-height - font-size) / 2 but due to different character height will need some manual nudging.

I'm working some css and encountered a weird problem. Two elements are inline-block staying in the same container. Both of them have the width, height, and line-height.
But if we set the first element an empty content, the layout will be disordered (vertical alignment).
You can see the problem here
<div class="part">
<div class="foo"></div>
<div class="bar">bar</div>
</div>
.part {
width: 400px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #ddd;
margin-bottom: 100px;
}
.foo {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 80px;
line-height: 80px;
background-color: red;
}
.bar {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
line-height: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: green;
}
I know empty content is always a bad smell of html code. But I just want to know why this is and how to solve this problem.
I found a similar question. People say we could use a   instead of empty content. Is this the only way we could solve it? Or we have other better solution?
Thanks.
use 'vertical-align: middle;' to the inline-block element
vertical-align: middle;

Are you talking about the global navigation menu or the slider that is on the page? The slider looks like it has a margin problem (in both I.E. 8 and Google Chrome).
I adjusted the css class named content-top to the following, so it isn't overflowing into the header:
.content-top
{
position:relative;
margin-top: 80px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
After I made the adjustments, it looks somewhat cleaner in the slider and header divs.
#header {
background: #FFFFFF
width: 100%;
padding: 30px 0px;
position:relative;
margin-top: 80px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
i didn't completely understand your question but i have tried to answer it.
you would need to edit
#header {
background: #FFFFFF
width: 100%;
padding: 20px 0px;
}
I seem to have this problem a lot when i'm writing. I have two elements on the same line. I need them both to have margins and thus cannot set their positions to absolute. if i don't set the position of the first element, it appears fine. However, the second element will appear below the first element. This is bad; I would like them to appear on the same line. In other words I would like to set both of the elements to position: absolute; top: 0; but then i can't use margin, which i need.
HTML:
#userQuestion{
//border: 1px solid yellow;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 40px;
line-height: 1.28;
display: inline-block;
}
.container{
padding: 0;
margin 0;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
//border: 1px solid blue;
margin-top: 30px;
width: 480px;
}
HTML:
<div id='userQuestion'></div> //this is fine
<div class='container'></div> //this appears underneath userQuestion. I would like them to be on the same line.
Try the following :
.container {
border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 30px;
padding: 0;
width: 480px;
}
