Menu
I have a div structure similar to following image.
I need to apply "text-overflow: ellipsis;" to text in this div structure in smaller windows.(image 2)
But it didn't apply as I expect. this is my HTML code
.header {
height: 60px;
width: 100%;
}
.header > .header_middle {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
}
.header > .header_middle.share-file-header > .caption {
float: left !important;
line-height: 60px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-right: 0 !important;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 0 30px;
}
.header > .header_middle.share-file-header .settings {
line-height: inherit;
padding: 0 15px 0 0;
float: right;
height: 60px;
position: relative;
}
.shared-person-detail-wrapper {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
line-height: inherit;
}
.settings .share-files-msg, .settings .shared-person {
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.settings .more-persons-wraper {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
} <div class="header">
<div class="header_middle share-file-header">
<div class="caption">
<p>
<a href="/">
<img src="/resources/Image1.png" alt="Image 1" title="Image 1">
</a>
</p>
</div>
<div class="settings">
<div class="shared-person-detail-wrapper">
<div class="shared-person">
User Name <a href="mailto:[email protected]">([email protected])</a>
</div>
<div class="share-files-msg">
has shared file(s) with you
<div class="more-persons-wraper">and some <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" id="more">more</a> people.
<ul class="dropdown-menu pull-right" id="more-persons">
<li>[email protected]</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="share-icon"><img src="/resources/Image2.png" alt="Image 2" title="Image 2"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>What is the wrong with this code, can any one give me a guide ?? thank you

Inline overflow occurs when the text in a line overflows the available width without a breaking opportunity. To force overflow to occur and ellipses to be applied, the author must apply the nowrap value to the white-space property on the element, or wrap the content in a <NOBR> tag.
text-overflow: ellipsis only works when the following is true: Parent element is not set to display: inline (span's default,) You must use display: block or display: inline-block. The element's width must be constrained in px (pixels) – it doesn't work with values specified using % (percent.)
To make an ellipsis work on a table cell, you can use the CSS display property set to its "block" or "inline-block" value. In our example below, besides the display property, we set the text-overflow to "ellipsis", use the "nowrap" value of the white-space property, set the overflow to "hidden".
In order for an element to have overflow as elipsis you need to set these CSS rules on it:
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
width: 60px; #(any width would do)
Here is a jsfiddle where I have added these on the .shared-person class. https://jsfiddle.net/3dukmv5q/
