Here’s a big snippet with all the CSS players involved. Use the textOverflow property together with the overflow style property (with a value different from visible) and the whiteSpace style propery (with a value of nowrap).Since the whiteSpace style property is partially supported in Internet Explorer earlier than version 8, for the not supported elements you can use the cross-browser noWrap HTML attribute instead. text-overflow: ellipsis overflow: hidden white-space: nowrap We can add these styles by CSS class to the element but as we are using directives, it is not good to create any dependencies. Ideally, we would add ellipsis, but we can’t reliably position them. I think there's a slight discrepancy where the ellipsis is shown when the text could actually otherwise fit. I'm detecting overflow one character later than I should.
But it can be a bit awkward to just cut the text off like that. On text-overflow:ellipsis it should be e.offsetWidth < e.scrollWidth oriadam at 8:39 5 I'm investigating an issue where the detection seems to be off by one character.
