I am able to limit table cell (<td>) width - I just set the width, and set overflow to hidden. However, I am NOT able to limit table cell height and keep word wrap. If I remove word-wrap, the height stays consistent (nothing forces it, because text just continues horizontally and gets cut off). If I add word-wrap, it seems to ignore the height property and expands the cell vertically.
PLNKR
The goal is to set a fixed table width and height, and then have text wrap (break to next line when reaching horizontal end of cell), but to be cut off vertically when it reaches the bottom. My current styles are these:
<style>
table{
border: 1px solid;
table-layout: fixed;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
tr{
vertical-align: top;
}
td{
word-break:break-all;
width: 80px;
height: 40px;
border: 1px solid;
border-collapse: collapse;
overflow: hidden;
}
</style>
Edit: This is a bonus, but ideally, if an image was placed in a cell, that would get cut off both vertically and horizontally as well, but that's just a "nice to have" and not really part of the q.
Edit 2: Here is an inline-block solution, but it's undesirable, hence not posted as an answer: http://plnkr.co/edit/qvA1wzkEdcrsA2Y9qWdV?p=preview
Figured it out! (Except the answer it a little hokey and only works in CSS3). Using a psuedo after element, and a negative margin, we can trick the table cell into not expanding it's height:
td:after {
content: '';
display: block;
margin-bottom: -10000px;
}
Example plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/frch27eCDoTBlDEVyUGB?p=preview
Edit:
It seems that -100% will stop the table cell from expanding equal to the height of the table. Thus -100% is not the optimal solution. We'll replace this with a extremely large negative pixel amount. This will fix very long sentences.
I am just posting the "basic"/obvious solution for anyone reading this post later. Put a div inside your table cell, and set width/height to the same size as the cell. Then set the div's overflow and overflow-y to hidden. You shouldn't have any problems with margins/padding/etc, but you can set them to zero if need be.
td{
word-break:break-all;
width: 80px;
height: 40px;
border: 1px solid;
border-collapse: collapse;
overflow: hidden;
background-color:yellow;
}
div{
background-color:cyan;
width: 80px;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
overflow-y: hidden;
}

I have a very simple html. The red div is inside the blue div and has a 10 px top margin. On non-ie browsers, the blue box is 10 px apart from the top of viewport and the red div is at the very top of the blue div. What I expect is the ie behavior: red div must be 10 px apart from the top of the blue div. Why does non-ie browsers render like this? (I suppose the wrong behavior is the IE's but why?)
And, what is the correct way to do this?

As much as strager's answer already explains about as much as you need to know as to why it happens – namely that it happens the way it does in browsers other than IE because the specs say so – I think he picked the wrong quote from the section of the CSS 2.1 specification about collapsing margins.
The point he quoted explains how margins can collapse, not how they can "move" to a parent element.
This is rather what explains it:
If the top and bottom margins of a box are adjoining, then it is possible for margins to collapse through it. In this case, the position of the element depends on its relationship with the other elements whose margins are being collapsed.
If the element's margins are collapsed with its parent's top margin, the top border edge of the box is defined to be the same as the parent's.
Or, in slightly more human-readable form in the Mozilla developer documentation:
Parent and first/last child:
If there is no border, padding, inline content, or clearance to separate the margin-top of a block with the margin-top of its first child block, or no border, padding, inline content, height, min-height, or max-height to separate the margin-bottom of a block with the margin-bottom of its last child, then those margins collapse. The collapsed margin ends up outside the parent.
As for how to fix it, I'd probably go for the overflow: auto solution Chris Lloyd suggested (as much as that may have side-effects).
But then that really depends on what exactly the rest of your code looks like. In this simple example you could easily just change the margin on the child element to a padding on the parent element.
Or you could float the child element, or absolutely position it...
Or how about an inverse clearfix if you want to get really fancy:
.outer:before {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
The margins are being merged. The output produced by IE is probably incorrect.
In the specifications (which are down for me at the moment):
Two or more adjoining vertical margins of block boxes in the normal flow collapse. The resulting margin width is the maximum of the adjoining margin widths.
You can use borders instead of margins, with border-color set to transparent.
There is a pretty fitting answer to this question: overflow: auto;
<html>
<head>
<style>
body { margin:0; padding:0; }
.outer
{
background-color: #00f;
height: 50px;
overflow: auto;
}
.inner
{
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-color: #f00;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Could it be IE sees the DOM as div.inner having div.outer as it's parent node(and calculates offset from it),
and that other browsers instead has both of them answering to the body element?
Ok, solution without overflow auto:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body { margin:0; padding:0; }
.outer
{
background-color: #00f;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}
.inner
{
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-color: #f00;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
padding: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The inner element is wanting something to push against, and providing a boder (or forcing the browser to consider the overflow) does this.
I want to change this not completely visible CSS textline.
not completely visible textline
CSS AREA
.searchresult-title {
color: #4b4b4b;
line-height: 1.33em;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
height: 43px;
overflow: hidden;
word-break: break-word;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
-ms-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;
}
HTML AREA
<div class="searchresult-title"><p>28A.4 Normalverteilung in OpenOffice.org, Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichte, kumulierte Verteilungsfunktion</p></div>
MY CODE
$('.searchresult-title').css({
'overflow': 'auto'
});
I can see in the CSS you have added overflow: hidden; which should be autofirst. I can also see that you have made the same through Javascript. So you can directly do that.
Addition to it, you can set min-height:43px; which will solve your problem.
1. Height: That defines the height of your text content.
2.min-height: That defines the minimum height of your text content. Once it goes beyond the minimum height; height will automatically increase.If you want a specific height also you can set it but with that add in your CSS class overflow:auto; so that it will not go beyond the height but at least text can be visible with a scroll.
If you have already set a height for the parent then it will work accordingly. If you set min-height for child div it won't go beyond parent height.
Also, Have you added text-overflow: ellipsis;also? I can see three dots.
I am using bootstrap-treeview to try to make a nice treeview within my MVC project. This control is available on NuGet so its easy to get started with it. The left hand div shows the tree and the right hand div shows the content of each element when clicked:
<body>
<div id="tree" style="position:absolute; width: 20%; height: 100%; overflow: scroll"></div>
<div id="content" class="list-group-item node-tree" style="position: absolute; left: 20%; width: 80%; height: 100%">This is where content goes once you click on a file or folder element.</div>
</body>
There is a slight problem, though. The content of the div with the ID = tree gets cut off:
Ideally, I would like these list elements to overflow to the right, beyond the size of the div with the ID = tree, as you can tell, because I have set overflow: scroll, so I do not want any text to wrap to a new line.
On runtime, it appends list elements as follows...
These list elements seem to have the following CSS:
.list-group-item {
position: relative;
display: block;
padding: 10px 15px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
I have tried adding white-space: nowrap; to this CSS, which makes the text do what I want (and overflow with a scrollbar), but the background and border of each list element stay at the width of the parent (which is not what I want; I want them to also overflow all scrollable width just like I did with the text)!
What can I do to make each element of this list properly overflow past the bounds of the parent div they all exist under?
Edit: I've tried putting overflow:visible on all parent levels as well, but it did not work. It removed the vertical scroll bar and kept all list item background borders still restricted to the width of the tree div. I also found that setting width = 10000px on the .list-group-item CSS partially gives me what I want as well, but obviously this makes the backgrounds too wide and the scroll bar becomes too elongated. I want the width of all list elements to be equal to the width of the widest overflowing content.
I figured it out. I had to change the display to table-row-group and I had to add white-space: nowrap:
.list-group-item {
position: relative;
display: table-row-group;
padding: 10px 15px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Add overflow:visible to the parent element(s). You may need this at multiple levels, as each parent element could potentially restrict the content.
I need javascript solution for ellipsis text truncation.
There is a percentage table which can be re-sized according to the screen resolution. While re-sizing the screen, when the table cell reached 20px it should truncate the text inside it. Which means it should not decrease the width below 20px.
I have done this using css solution (ellipsis) but unfortunately it is not widely supported for all browsers So I am looking for pure java-script solution to truncate the text by calculating the cell width.
here is how I am using css for this
td{
background:#cccc33;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
width: auto;
max-width: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}
DEMO
I want to create a tool-tip that will have flexible size according to the text length. For example, I have the following tool-tip:
Now, for this text, the width is OK (fixed in the css). But, when I have a very smaller string:
the tool-tip looks too big. My question is: how do I make the tool-tip flexible according to the text length? Is there a way to do this in the .css maybe? I work with d3.js, so an answer from this point of view would be acceptable too.
Thank you in advance for your answer!
EDIT: I use this tutorial in order to accomplish my goal, my code is something like that (not exactly, but close enough). It would be best to provide an answer based on that example, since my code is too big to post here.
You can do that with CSS, just use min-width and max-width together instead of width
Also you can simply remove width from your CSS or change it into width: auto;
the css for the tooltops looks like this (according to your link)
div.tooltip {
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
width: 60px; /* Width and Height are fixed */
height: 28px;
padding: 2px;
font: 12px sans-serif;
background: lightsteelblue;
border: 0px;
border-radius: 8px;
pointer-events: none;
}
Try removing the width property of the CSS. Above you can see that this is set to a fixed-width of 60 pixels.
This may be best CSS for this. It will adjust its size according to text inside it
div.tooltip{
position: absolute;
white-space: pre-line;
pointer-events: none;
visibility: visible;
background-color:White;
text-align: left;
padding: 5px 0;
display: block;
z-index: 1;
border: 0.5px solid black;
}
