How do I fit long text into a fixed width column where I have room for only one line of text? The text needs to be cut to a fixed width (lets say to 100px) and I would like to add dots "..." at the end. Something like this for example:

Given string:

Some really long string that I need to fit in there!

Desired output in fixed-开发者_JAVA技巧width-column should be:

Some really long string...


You can do this with CSS alone:

.box {
    -o-text-overflow: ellipsis;   /* Opera */
    text-overflow:    ellipsis;   /* IE, Safari (WebKit) */
    overflow:hidden;              /* don't show excess chars */
    white-space:nowrap;           /* force single line */
    width: 300px;                 /* fixed width */
}

Note: You will want to check on the latest browser support.


Just with some CSS like answer of Gordon. Just added the display:block property for an inline element like <a> or <p> :

a#myText{
  display: block;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  width: 300px;
}

You could use it with many browser like you can see on this link : http://caniuse.com/#search=text-overflow


I had a similar problem, the way I solved it was to strip the string down to 60 characters and append an '...' to the end of it.

An ugly solution? Yes, but unless there is a jQuery solution it's probably your best bet.

If you're using Smarty, this is how I solved the problem:

{$my_string|truncate:60}


Here's a function I use to truncate strings. Like most of the suggestions here, it uses substr to truncate the string, but it will avoid splitting the string mid-word:

function truncate_text($string, $min_chars, $append = ' &hellip;') {
    $chars = strpos($string, " ", $min_chars);
    $truncated_string = substr($string, 0, $chars) . $append;
    return $truncated_rstring;
}


I think simple cutting text after N characters isn't what you're looking for. It's not a solution because the following text have both 15 character length: iiiiiiiiiiiiiii, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - notice that the second "word" is about three times longer than the first one.

JavaScript might be a solution:

  1. First prepare your mark-up:

    <p id="abc">{TEXT}</p>
    

    Where {TEXT} is your text truncated to 150 characters + ...

  2. Now when we've got a good base for JavaScript we can try to make what you're looking for:

    <html>
    <head> 
        <style type="text/css">
            #abc {
                width: 100px;
            }
        </style>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
                var ref  = document.getElementById("abc");
                var text = ref.text;
    
                ref.removeChild(ref.firstChild);
                ref.appendChild(document.createTextNode("..."));
    
                var maxHeight = ref.offsetHeight;
    
                var pos = 0;
                while (ref.offsetHeight <= maxHeight) {
                    var insert = text.substring(0, ++pos) + "...";
    
                    var finalReplace = ref.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(insert), ref.firstChild);
                }
    
                ref.replaceChild(finalReplace, ref.firstChild);
            }, false);
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p id="abc">My very, very, very, very, very, very, very long text...</p>
    </body>
    </html>
