Limit characters displayed in span

Question

Is there some sort of way within HTML or CSS to limit the characters displayed with a span? I use a repeater that displays these info boxes and I want to limit the character

Answer 1

Yes, sort of.

You can explicitly size a container using units relative to font-size:

• 1em = 'the horizontal width of the letter m'
• 1ex = 'the vertical height of the letter x'
• 1ch = 'the horizontal width of the number 0'

In addition you can use a few CSS properties such as overflow:hidden; white-space:nowrap; text-overflow:ellipsis; to help limit the number as well.
