ellipsis for multiline text in Chrome

Question

Is there anything like -o-ellipsis-lastline for Google Chrome?

I'm building a Chrome extension and would like to ellipsize multiline text using CSS.

Answer 1

It is impossible to create ellipsis pure CSS due to W3 spec for text-overflow.

But If you are developing Chrome Extensions you have already using JavaScript, so here is some demos and plugins to solve your problem:

• http://www.codeitbetter.co.uk/widgets/ellipsis/
• http://jsfiddle.net/danesparza/TF6Rb/1/
• http://jsfiddle.net/MPkSF/
• http://jsfiddle.net/VpmbL/
• https://github.com/pvdspek/jquery.autoellipsis

I'm using the last plugin on my own projects.
