Apply Ellipsis When Label Text Is Overflow

How to use text-overflow: ellipsis with a label element?

To hide overflow in an element, the element needs to be block-level. But you probably don't want an inline label to be block-level because that could cause other issues. So just make it inline-block:

label#cats {
    white-space: nowrap; 
    width: 30px; 
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis; 
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    display: inline-block;
}

Ellipsis is not working properly for label

Move the ellipsis rules to the li and set the labels to display:inline;

ul {  min-width: 200px;  margin: 0;  border-radius: 0;  max-height: 270px;  max-width: 200px;  background: red;}
label {   display: inline;}
li { overflow: hidden;  text-overflow: ellipsis;  white-space: nowrap;}

<html><ul class="dropdown-menu main ">  <li>    <a href="#">Select All</a>  </li>  <li>    <a href="#">Select None</a>  </li>  <li>    <label>my numbers</label>  </li>  <div>    <li>      <input type="checkbox">      <label class="">one</label>    </li>    <li>      <input type="checkbox">      <label class="">onHow to use text-overflow: ellipsis with a label element?

CSS text-overflow on label

label or span are inline by default. You cannot set width on inline elements.
So make label inline-block

/// markup

<input type="checkbox"/> <label style="display: inline-block; width: 60px; overflow: hidden">Sample text sample text</label>

apply ellipsis when label text is overflow

New CSS:

#media-played,#remarks {
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    white-space: nowrap;
    display:block;
}

#player-play, #player-stop
{
   display: inline-block;
   width: 48px;
   height: 48px;
}
#player-play
{
    background-image: url('../images/play.png');
}
#player-stop
{
   background-image: url('../images/stop.png');
}

Flutter - Wrap text on overflow, like insert ellipsis or fade

You should wrap your Container in a Flexible to let your Row know that it's ok for the Container to be narrower than its intrinsic width. Expanded will also work.

    padding: new EdgeInsets.only(right: 13.0),

Button with a really long label with text-overflow ellipsis has a max-width of 700px but should shrink if the viewport gets smaller, doesn't got it

The answer to my question was to add overflow-x: hidden to the box. This answer was given to me by someone else, here is their demo:

https://codesandbox.io/s/mui-testing-forked-qbcnn

And here is the fixed styling pasted again:

const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
  box: {
    flex: "1 1 100%",
    display: "flex",
    flexDirection: "row",
    justifyContent: "center",
    alignItems: "center",
    overflowX: "hidden" // <--- This is new
    // maxWidth: "100%",
    // width: "100%"
  },
  button: {
    width: "100%",
    maxWidth: 700,

    "& .MuiButton-label": {
      textOverflow: "ellipsis",
      whiteSpace: "nowrap",
      overflow: "hidden",
      textAlign: "left",
      display: "block"
    }
  }
}));

Button with ellipsis on a label, sized by parent

Button width is based on its content or parent element. You need to modify some styles to achieve ellipsis content:

<PrimaryButton
  ...
  styles={{
    textContainer: {
      overflow: 'hidden',
    },
    label: {
      overflow: 'hidden',
      whiteSpace: 'nowrap',
      textOverflow: 'ellipsis',
    }
  }}
/>

Setting ellipsis on text from a flex container

The ellipsis need to be set on the text element, not on the container:

.target {  display: flex;  align-items: center;  width: 300px;  height: 50px;  border: solid 1px red;  white-space: nowrap;}
span {  overflow: hidden;  text-overflow: ellipsis;}

<label class="target">  <span>Text here is very very long that it might get truncate if this box get resized too small</span></label>
