Why not use relative units?
.cropText {
max-width: 20em;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
Below code will hide your text with fixed width you decide. but not quite right for responsive designs.
.CropLongTexts {
width: 170px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
Update
I have noticed in (mobile) device(s) that the text (mixed) with each other due to (fixed width)... so i have edited the code above to become hidden responsively as follow:
.CropLongTexts {
max-width: 170px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
The (max-width) ensure the text will be hidden responsively whatever the (screen size) and will not mixed with each other.
You can use:
overflow:hidden;
to hide the text outside the zone.
Note that it may cut the last letter (so a part of the last letter will still be displayed). A nicer way is to display an ellipsis at the end. You can do it by using text-overflow
:
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap; /* Don't forget this one */
text-overflow: ellipsis;
.cut_text {_x000D_
white-space: nowrap; _x000D_
width: 200px; _x000D_
border: 1px solid #000000;_x000D_
overflow: hidden;_x000D_
text-overflow: ellipsis;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="cut_text">_x000D_
_x000D_
very long text_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
.crop {
overflow:hidden;
white-space:nowrap;
text-overflow:ellipsis;
width:100px;
}?
