ellipsis

Suppose I have a MySQL table of one column: "Message". It is of type TEXT. I now want to query all rows, but the text can be large (not extremely large but large) and I only want to get a summary of them. For example the result can be populated into a list. Is there a way to trim the text to a specific length (say, 10 characters), and add ellipsis if the text is trimmed? For example: Message ----------- 12345678901234 1234567890 12345 12345678901 Query result: 1234567... 1234567890 12345 1234567... Thanks! select case when length(message) > 7 then concat(substring(message, 1, 7), '...') else

problem image I applied this class to h3 tag. .ellipsis-2 { $lines: 2; $line-multiple: 1.3; $font-size: 1em; display: block; display: -webkit-box; max-height: $font-size * $line-multiple * $lines; line-height: $font-size * $line-multiple; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-line-clamp: $lines; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; } As you saw in image, there is full lines of text and ellipsis didn't show. But when I resize screen, ellipsis works fine. Problem occured only the first time page rendering. Any adivce? This is my solution to this: HTML <mat-expansion

I'm trying to get an ellipsis to work like so: http://jsfiddle.net/583mK/1/ Interestingly, it works fine on jsFiddle. Strange thing is given the exact same HTML/CSS it's not working on my app and I can't figure out why. Are there any ellipsis gotchas that could be causing this? The one big difference is in the Fiddle, it's all static content. In my app, the page loads, and jQuery Template is used to populate the list which I then want to have an ellipsis. The text is not overflowing, so the overflow is working and the white space is working just not the ... ellipsis. Not sure if this helps:

I found quite a few examples for showing progress where the progress bars and wheels are used however; I could find only one javascript example to show an ellipsis (dot-dot-dot) to refer progress hence I thought of asking this question. My app is not very complex - it only has a few check-boxes and one button. Recently my team requested for an enhancement and want to keep it simple as well. There is a button named 'GO' that the user clicks after configuring the required settings. The code behind it is also really straightforward - it disables the button after the click event and call's a

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 "asdasfljashglajksgkjasghklajsghl" , I want to display: |asdasfljashglajk...| If DIV contains a long sentence, such as "if i had a dime for everytime i was told i can't" , I want to display: |if i had a dime for| |everytime i was... | I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript. I can't use jQuery. Please let me know if it's possible. For this you can use text-overflow: ellipsis; property. Write like this white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; I know I'm a bit late with the

Does anybody know of a way to use {text-overflow: ellipsis;} on a piece of text that's wrapping to a second line? Adding: {whitespace: nowrap;} makes text-overflow work, but I need the text to wrap so I really can't use that. Jason Reed If you know the content is going to wrap to two lines every time this solution will work. Use ::after and content: ' ... '; and then position it over the bottom right corner of your type (which should be a block level element). This will only work if you are working against a solid background color as you need to set the background of the ::after to match. The

I have run into a situation where I need to take all the extra arguments passed to an R function and roll them into an object for later use. I thought the previous question about ellipses in functions would help me, but I still can't quite grasp how to do this. Here is a very simple example of what I would like to do: newmean <- function(X, ...){ args <- as.list(substitute(list(...)))[-1L] return(mean(X, args)) } I've tried a number of different formulations of args in the above example and tried unlisting args in the return call. But I can't make this work. Any tips? I realize that I could do
