I have a DIV (wrapper) with 2 DIVs inside: left and right.
wrapper's width is known. I want to truncate text in left DIV if it doesn't fit. Text in right should be always visible. I tried several techniques here, but the only one is working is based on flex box. Unfortunately it doesn't work on IE10. I used -ms- prefixes, without success.
Is there any way to make it work on IE10?
I can't test this on IE10 myself, though since its -ms-flex defaults to 0 0 auto, you will need to add -ms-flex: 0 1 auto to the left, so it is allowed to shrink.
And as the default on IE11 and the rest of the browsers is 0 1 auto, they work as is.

Stack snippet
.wrapper {
background: tomato;
width: 100px;
display: -ms-flexbox; /* IE10 */
display: flex;
}
.left {
-ms-flex: 0 1 auto; /* IE10 */
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.right {
}
<div class=wrapper>
<div class="left">
title title title title
</div>
<div class="right">
123
</div>
</div>
Here is an idea without the use of flexbox but using display:table:
.wrapper {
background: tomato;
width: 100px;
display: table;
}
.left {
display: table-cell;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
.left span {
position: absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.right {
display: table-cell;
}
<div class=wrapper>
<div class="left">
<span>
title title title title title title
</span>
</div>
<div class="right">
123
</div>

I have a re-sizable sidebar using Javascript. The problem is when the size of the sidebar is less than the content's wrapping occurs. (i think because of flex-box).
My grid is based on Rows and Columns kinda like Bootstrap.
.column {
flex-basis: 0;
max-width: 100%;
flex-grow: 1;
}
.row {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
margin: 0 -1rem;
}
What I want to achieve is truncating the content (without shrinking) indicating that there is more.
Here is a fiddle with what i achieved so far.
When it comes to Flexbox, you need to set min-width: 0 or overflow: hidden to every level, down from the child of the element with the width constraint, to the one having ellipsis.
So in this case, from the sidebar's child, and the reason is that a flex item's min-width defaults to auto, which mean it can't be smaller than its content.
To make it easy to follow how I mean, I created a flex-ellipsis class and added it to all elements down that chain.
Note, I also removed the negative margin, margin: 0 -1rem;, from the row class, or else one can't see the ellipsis.
Updated fiddle

const resizeHandle = document.getElementsByClassName("vertical-resize")[0];
const navbar = document.getElementById('sidebar');
function resizeNavbar(e) {
let size = (e.pageX + 5);
navbar.style.width = (e.pageX + 5) + "px";
}
function removeEvents() {
document.removeEventListener('mousemove', resizeNavbar);
document.removeEventListener('mouseup', resizeNavbar);
}
resizeHandle.addEventListener('mousedown', () => {
document.addEventListener('mousemove', resizeNavbar);
document.addEventListener('mouseup', removeEvents);

You need to use text-overflow property along with other properties inside a media query or per your needs.
e.g
.list {
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
font-size: 48px; /* just for test */
}
<div class="list">
this is a ver long list this is a ver long list this is a ver long list.
</div>
Hope this will help you out.
As you have not shared full code with us, it will be difficult for us to provide you working solution. But you can add this css to your code with you want to truncate.
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
This will help you with text truncate with "..."
I have two div elements sitting side by side. I want the left div to take remaining space of the width of the right div.
.text {
display: inline;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: red;
}
.icon {
display: inline-block;
width: 92px;
background-color: green;
}
.information {
width: 200px;
}
<div class="information">
<div class="text">Text Here</div>
<div class="icon">Image Here</div>
</div>
Everything I've tried, causes the icon div to resize/overflow based on the remaining space left from the text.
But I want my text div to overflow if the width on the icon div is more. Is there anyway to do this?
I can't set the width (using less or calc(totalWidth - iconWidth))
for the text div because the icon div's width can vary and I don't know what its value might be (the value of the icon's width is calculated in a mixin).
Fiddle link: https://jsfiddle.net/fdur0wd1/
Use flex on the parent, and set .text to flex-grow: 1 (or flex: 1 0 0 for short)
.text {
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: red;
flex: 1 0 0;
}
.icon {
width: 92px;
background-color: green;
}
.information {
width: 200px;
display: flex;
}
<div class="information">
<div class="text">Text Here</div>
<div class="icon">Image Here</div>
</div>
I have a two-column layout created with flexboxes.
In the right column, I have two rows, the first containing a header and the second containing the page content.
Within the header I have three columns, a button, some text, and a button.
I want the buttons to sit on the left and right of the column with the text taking up any additional room.
Finally, I want the text to have white-space:nowrap and text-overflow:ellipsis properties to truncate long titles.
My problem is this: I cannot get the text wrapping to work correctly in a flexbox that is nested in another flexbox, as shown in this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/maxmumford/rb4sk3mz/3/
.container {
display: flex;
height: 100vh;
}
.left {
width: 200px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.right {
flex: 1;
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
.header {
background: red;
color: white;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.header .content {
white-space: nowrap;
flex: 0 1 auto;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
min-width: 0;
}
.header .buttons {
background: green;
flex: 1 0 auto;
}
.header .content:hover {
white-space: normal;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="left">
content left
</div>
<div class="right">
<div class="header">
<div class="buttons">buttons</div>
<div class="content">
This content is really long and should wrap with ellipses, but for some reason it doesn't work when it's nested in a container with display: flex
</div>
<div class="buttons">buttons</div>
</div>
content right
</div>
</div>
However, the exact same code works when the header is not nested within a flex box:
http://jsfiddle.net/maxmumford/p7115f2v/1/
.header {
background: red;
color: white;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.header .content {
white-space: nowrap;
flex: 0 1 auto;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
min-width: 0;
}
.header .buttons {
background: green;
flex: 1 0 auto;
}
<div class="header">
<div class="buttons">buttons</div>
<div class="content">
This content is really long and is wrapped correctly... This content is really long and is wrapped correctly... This content is really long and is wrapped correctly... This content is really long and is wrapped correctly... This content is really long
and is wrapped correctly... This content is really long and is wrapped correctly... This content is really long and is wrapped correctly...
</div>
<div class="buttons">buttons</div>
</div>
How can I achieve what I want in the first fiddle?
Thanks
There are two issues in your code preventing the ellipsis from working:
div.right contains div.header, which in turn contains the button and text.
div.right is a flex item in the main container (.container).
By default, a flex item cannot be smaller than the size of its content. The initial setting on flex items is min-width: auto.
This means that the length of your text, which is not wrapping, will set a minimum size for parent flex items. One way to enable flex items to shrink past their content is to set a flex item to min-width: 0.
You've done this already for the .content flex item, but it needs to be set on the .right item, as well.
You've got the .content element set to flex: 0 1 auto.
This tells the flex item to use the size of the content (flex-basis: auto). The text sets the size.
Instead, set the width to 0 and let the flex container distribute space, as necessary. You can do this with flex: 1 1 0, which is the same as flex: 1.
.container {
display: flex;
height: 100vh;
}
.left {
width: 200px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.right {
flex: 1;
background-color: blue;
color: white;
min-width: 0; /* NEW */
}
.header {
background: red;
color: white;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.header .content {
white-space: nowrap;
flex: 1; /* ADJUSTMENT */
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
min-width: 0;
}
.header .buttons {
background: green;
flex: 1 0 auto;
}
.header .content:hover {
white-space: normal;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="left">
content left
</div>
<div class="right">
<div class="header">
<div class="buttons">buttons</div>
<div class="content">
This content is really long and should wrap with ellipses, but for some reason it doesn't work when it's nested in a container with display: flex
</div>
<div class="buttons">buttons</div>
</div>
content right
</div>
</div>
revised fiddle
The values of :
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
Will work only if the content of your element exceeds it's width.
You can set the width of .header .content:
.header .content {
width: 50%;
}
And it will work as you expect it to:
http://jsfiddle.net/t82pqks4/
I hope this solution helps someone as nothing else I found worked because of how my page was a giant nested combination of flexbox. so min-width 0 didn't work, nothing I tried worked except this.
Inside the flex column that has the copy you want to wrap, you need to do this.
.row {
display: flex;
}
.col1 {
position: relative;
flex: 1 1 70%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.nested {
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.col2 {
flex: 1 1 30%;
padding-left: 1rem;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col1">
<div class="nested">This is my really long copy that will push it out of the screen, and will not respect the elippse no matter what I do!!!</div>
</div>
<div class="col2">
Last Text
</div>
</div>

The dom structure is this
<div class="outer">
<div class="left">aaa</div>
<div class="middle">middlemiddlemiddlemiddlemiddlemiddle</div>
<div class="right">bbb</div>
</div>
outer is fixed width,
left and right to be on the left and right, respectively
all three sections contain variable width content.
The middle section should not overflow or push the right section out of the container.
Ideally the middle would have ellipses in the event of overflow.
I can't see how to avoid pushing the right section out in the event of long middle section without a max width, but that kills the variable width of the right section.
How do I resolve this?
Can you use flexbox?
It has the properties you need. Setting the growth property to 0 & shrink property to 1, perhaps?
-webkit-box-flex: 0;
-moz-box-flex: 0;
-webkit-flex: 0 1 auto;
-ms-flex: 0 1 auto;
flex: 0 1 auto;
And maybe you could play with it, here.
Incomplete but it can get you started
html
<div class="outer">
<div class="left">aaa</div>
<div class="inner">
<div class="right">bbb</div>
<div class="middle">middlemiddlemiddlemiddlemiddlemiddle</div>
</div>
</div>
css
.outer {
background-color: yellow;
height: 20px;
width: 200px;
}
.left {
float: left;
display: inline-block;
}
.inner {
float: right;
}
.middle {
float:left;
display: inline-block;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.right {
float: right;
display: inline-block;
}
Ok I found a pure css solution.
http://jsfiddle.net/38Hmp/2/
<div class="outer">
<div class="left">aaa</div>
<div class="right">bbb</div>
<div class="middle">middlemiddlemiddlemiddlemiddlemiddle</div>
</div>
left and right both float (left and right) and middle has no float.
Its key that left and right go into the dom before middle.
css
.outer {
background-color: yellow;
height: 20px;
width: 200px;
}
.left {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.middle {
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.right {
float: right;
margin-left: 10px;

I have some pretty simple markup and I want long text to be truncated with "..."
.topRow div {
display: inline-block;
}
#name {
max-width: 70%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
<div class="topRow">
<div id="edit">
<div id="pre">Before -</div>
<div id="name">Some long text that should get truncated when it passes the max width</div>
<div id="post">- After</div>
</div>
</div>
Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/xyPrv/3/
The problem is that when I add overflow: hidden to the div, it makes the text jump up a few pixels and is out of alignment with the rest of the text around it.
What is causing this vertical movement? Without manually pushing the text back down (with position: relative; and top: 5px), how can I cleanly get the text to be aligned?
Try this:
.topRow div {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
}
#name {
max-width: 70%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
<div class="topRow">
<div id="edit">
<div id="pre">Before -</div>
<div id="name">Some long text that should get truncated when it passes the max width</div>
<div id="post">- After</div>
</div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/V79Hn/
If you change this:
.topRow div {
display: inline-block;
}
to this:
.topRow div {
float:left;
}
Then it's as you want it.
Or just use:
div {
width: 100%;
line-height: 1.2em;
height: 3.6em;
background-color: gainsboro;
overflow: hidden;
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
-webkit-line-clamp: 3;
}
