The div has a certain width, the text inside is dynamically derived from the API, and has an ellipsis style. I cannot provide the width of the text because the text is completely dynamic and the text length is not determined. Below is the code that explains the problem.
body { background-color: lightblue; } .container { display: flex; width: 130px; } .d-flex { display: flex; } .flex-column { flex-direction: column; } .justify-content-center { justify-content: center; } .justify-content-between { justify-content: space-between; } .table-header__width-ellipses { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; vertical-align: middle; white-space: nowrap; }
<div class="d-flex"> <div class="container"> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between w-100 align-items-center"> <div class=" d-flex flex-column justify-content-center"> <div> <!-- style="width: 110px" ---- is showing correct ellipsis and text fits in the width --> <span class="table-header__width-ellipses pl-2">Long text included here </span> </div> </div> <div class="d-flex"> <div class="header--sort_icon"></div> <div class="cursor-pointer cell-header-addcol"> <img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2022/01/11/21/48/link-6931554_1280.png" alt="menu" width="16" height="16"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container"> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between w-100 align-items-center"> <div class=" d-flex flex-column justify-content-center"> <div> <span class="table-header__width-ellipses pl-2">Long text included here </span> </div> </div> <div class="d-flex"> <div class="header--sort_icon"></div> <div class="cursor-pointer cell-header-addcol"> <img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2022/01/11/21/48/link-6931554_1280.png" alt="menu" width="16" height="16"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>
I'm trying to generate something like this for a table style. Can anyone help me solve this problem?
For
text-overflow: ellipsis;
to work properly, you should specify the width of theinline-block
span element.So, add
width: 130px;
to.table-header__width-ellipses
and usewidth: 150px;
as.container
Working code.
