Clamping lines without '-webkit-line-clamp'

Question

In the good old days, there existed a trick in webkit for clamping lines using pure css:

display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-line-clamp: 3;
-webkit-box-orient:          


        

Answer 1

Try using this CSS

.line-clamp:after {
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), #FFFFFF 50%) repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
bottom: 0;
content: "...";
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0 20px 1px 45px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;}

.line-clamp {
height: 5.6em;
line-height: 1.4em;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;}
