How to use text-overflow ellipsis in an html input field?

Question

My web page has input fields to which I have applied the following css :

.ellip {
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 200px;
    overflow: hidden;
    -o-tex         


        

Answer 1

A field is an element with its own rules. The input field is implemented in the way that if the text gets longer than the field, the text gets just unseen.

The reason for this is, if you use the field in a form and it would be possible to use text-overflow ellipsis, then it would only transmit the truncated content, what is not the wanted effect.
