I have a line of text that I want to draw borders around. At the moment, the markup looks like this:
<div id="titleBox"><span id="titleName" class="truncate">Really really long long long title name</span></div>
The style looks like this:
#titleBox{
margin-top: 10px;
}
#titleName{
margin: 5px;
height: 1.6em;
width: auto;
max-width: 15.385em;
padding: 0.369em;
margin: 0.369em;
line-height: 1.7;
color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
background-color: rgba(204,204,204,0.4);
border: 3px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.14);
font-size: 153.9%;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
}
.truncate {
white-space:开发者_运维问答 nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
-ms-text-overflow: ellipsis;
-o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
-moz-binding: url('../templates/ellipsis.xml#ellipsis');
}
The effect that I'd like is that I'd like the styled box to be the width of the text, unless the width exceeds a certain limit. Then I would want the width to be limited and then the truncate class should kick in.
The problem with only using a div is that the box doesn't wrap to the width of the text. Using a span helps but then it doesn't display as a block. Forcing it to display as a block exhibits the same problem as wrapping it in a plain div. Using a div/span combination doesn't work either because the span ignores the boundaries of the div if the text is too long.
Is there a way to limit the width of the text, forcing it to truncate and have a styled box surrounding the text?
As per my comment, display:inline-block
should give the desired effect. it won't work in <IE6 though.
