html - white-space property breaks the elements widths -
so initial thing wanted achieve 2 elements stacked side-by-side both of them take full available height, 1 of them has fixed width , width of container varies. left element contains image (70px wide) whole element should 200px wide. right element should fit 1 line of text , overflowing text should clipped showing ...
.
html:
<div class="wrapper-wrapper"> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="left"> <image src="http://s4.postimg.org/i1huts8vt/kitten.png" /> </div> <div class="right"> text row 1 freaking wide row tons of text deal or gtfo. have enough text fill box ? </div> </div> </div>
aaand css :
.wrapper-wrapper { width: 600px; } .wrapper { border:1px solid #aaa; margin:0 0 10px 0; display: table; width: 100%; } .left { width:200px; background-color:#eee; } .left, .right { display: table-cell; padding:5px; } .right { overflow:hidden; white-space:nowrap; text-overflow:ellipsis; }
a runnable demo :

so decided achieve vertical stacking using combination of display: table/table-cell
. , use overflow
, text-overflow
clip overflowing text. problem moment set white-space
property (as according ppk https://developer.mozilla.org/en-us/docs/web/css/text-overflow) widths of elements omitted.
update
ok i've updated code. let's wrapper-wrapper
600px wide. left
div should 200px wide , right
should fill whatever space left (400px). text in right
div should clipped 400px
, right div grows fit of inside.
how wanted :
the problem isn't white-space
property. part fine. here's why it's not working:
- you have
display
settable-cell
.text-overflow
works on block container elements.table-cell
doesn't meet requirement. - you haven't defined width ellipsis container (
.right
), also requirement.
your code:
.right { overflow:hidden; white-space:nowrap; text-overflow:ellipsis; }
try this:
.right { overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; display: inline-block; width: 375px; }
