CSS word ellipsis ('…') after one or two lines

Question

I\'m trying to create a word-wrap in JavaScript using CSS, and the condition is:

If DIV contains one very long word, such as \"asdasfljashglajksgkjasghk

Answer 1

Displaying the ellipsis needs to be handled differently when the width of container is fixed and percentage.

• When width of container is fixed

    .nooverflow{
        display: inline-block;
        overflow: hidden;
        overflow-wrap: normal;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        white-space: nowrap;
    }

• When width of container is in percentage or auto, in this scenario define another tag in that container to render the text and specify width as 0 and min-width as 100%, that way it will take the width of container and show the ellipsis. Below is the LESS class to be used:

    .nooverflow{
        display: inline-block;
        overflow: hidden!important;
        overflow-wrap: normal;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        white-space: nowrap!important;
        width: 0;
        min-width: 100%;
    }
