CSS: Can you prevent overflow: hidden from cutting-off the last line of text?

Question

When using CSS overflow: hidden , I\'ve often found that the last line of text gets partially cut-off. Is there a way to prevent this so that any partial lines do not show

Answer 1

Rob is correct. I was making a div that had a max-height of 11em and the last line of overflow text was only half there. white-space: nowrap just eliminates that last line all together.

I tried

white-space: nowrap;

and Gaby is also correct that this causes problems too.

The best I came up with was to fiddle with the line-height and div height until the fewest lines were cut-off
