trying to set up css doing the following:
Imagine we have two equal parallel divs with text in it:
<div class="xy">Example</div>
<div class="xy">This.is.a.example.of.a.long.Text</div>
The divs are wider than "Example" but less wide than "This.is.a.example.of.a.long.Text".
Now I want to see these texts left-aligned, so that the odd space is behind "Example" on the ride side.
But i also want to use
text-overflow:ellipsis
with the longer text in a way that I will see the end of the text.
So it should look like:
"Example "
"...ample.of.a.long.Text"
How do I do this?
I was just curious to your question and give it a try in java script as follows,
Demo
var maxChar = 20,
dots = '. . . ',
toTrim = $('.toTrim'),
toTrimLength = toTrim.text().length,
getChar = toTrimLength - maxChar;
if(toTrimLength > maxChar){
var newString = dots + toTrim.text().slice(getChar)
toTrim.text(newString);
}
I guess you still need to modify this to suite your requirement.
Also add the same string in title attr to see full text when hovering and if you want to do it even better. change text-overflow on :hover

Anybody know how I could wrap the text in reverse order, from bottom to top?
I attached an example image.

Instead of breaking the line after it is full and having an incomplete line at the end, I need to brake somehow from bottom to top, so bottom lines are full and top line is incomplete.
I would not recommend using exotic CSS attributes which aren't even in Chrome & Firefox yet. The best cross-browser solution is to handle this in Javascript when the document loads. Here's a sketch of how to do that:
$(function() {
$(".title").each(function(i,title) {
var width = 0;
var originalHeight = $(title).height();
var spacer = $('<div style="float:right;height:1px;"/>').prependTo(title);
while (originalHeight == $(title).height()) {
spacer.width( ++width );
}
spacer.width( --width );
});
});

6 years later, but fret not! I have found a pure CSS solution!
Turns out you can achieve this result with flexbox, but it's not obvious or very straight forward. This is what I started out with:
I want the header to be "bottom-heavy", the same effect as you describe in the question.
I began by splitting up my string by whitespace and giving them each a <span> parent. By using flex-wrap: wrap-reverse, and align-content: flex-start. You will achieve this:
Oh no! Now the order is messed up! Here comes the trick. By reversing both the order in which you add spans to the HTML and the direction order of flex with 'flex-direction: row-reverse', you actually achieve the "pyramid-shaped" upwards overflow effect you desire.
Here is my (simplified) code, using react and react-bootstrap:
<Row className='d-flex flex-wrap-reverse flex-row-reverse align-content-start'>
{props.deck.name
.split(' ')
.reverse()
.map(word => (
<span className='mr-1'>{word}</span>
))}
</Row>
There is no general css solution for it. You must have to utilize help of any language.
This is one of the solution using PHP:
<?php
$str= "This is what I want to achieve with your help";
$str = strrev($str);
$exp = str_split($str,18);
$str = implode(">rb<", $exp);
echo strrev($str);
?>
Well, if that is depending on the text, then you can try something like a word replacer. For example
var words = "This is what I want to achieve";
var newWords.replace("what", "what <br />"); // note the line break
document.write(newWords);
Here is a fiddle for you: http://jsfiddle.net/afzaal_ahmad_zeeshan/Ume85/
Otherwise, I don't think you can break a line depending on number of characters in a line.
Wrap and Nowrap will be rendered by the client-browser, so you can not force the browser to wrap from bottom to top. but you can do that with javascript or asp.
This is not a formal solution for this problem. But see if this helps.
The HTML CODE
<div id="mydiv">
I can imagine the logic behind the code having to detect what is the last line, detect the div size, and the font size... then measure how many characters it can fit and finally go to the above line and insert the break where necessary. Some font families might make this harder, but trial and error should solve the issue once the basic code is set..
</div>
CSS:
#mydiv
{
width:1000px;
line-height:18px;
font-size:20px;
text-align:justify;
word-break:break-all;
}
Here setting the div width around 50 times that of the font-size will give you the precise result. Other width values or font values might slightly disorient the last line, giving some blank space after the last character.(Could not solve that part, yet).
JQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
//GET the total height of the element
var height = $('#mydiv').outerHeight();
//Get the height of each line, which is set in CSS
var lineheight = $('#mydiv').css('line-height');
//Divide The total height by line height to get the no of lines.
var globalHeight = parseInt(height)/parseInt(lineheight);
var myContent = $('#mydiv').html();
var quotient = 0;
//As long as no of lines does not increase, keep looping.
while(quotient<=globalHeight)
{
//Add tiny single blank space to the div's beginning
$('#mydiv').html(' '+myContent);
//Get the new height of line and height of div and get the new no of lines and loop again.
height = $('#mydiv').outerHeight();
lineheight = $('#mydiv').css('line-height');
quotient = parseInt(height)/parseInt(lineheight);
myContent = $('#mydiv').html();
}
//get the final div content after exiting the loop.
var myString = $('#mydiv').html();
//This is to remove the extra space, which will put the last chars to a new line.
var newString = myString.substr(1);
$('#mydiv').html(newString);
});
If you already know where you want your breaks to take place just use simple HTML breaks to break your content and have it display the way you want.
<p>This is what<br/>
want to acheive with your help</p>
If you set the breaks manually (and you know where you want them to break) then create them yourself.
You could also try setting separate css width adjustments based on the dimensions of the screen you are seeing the breaking you are not liking and set an #media reference to make the div width smaller to break the text so it doesn't run unevenly across the top of certain size devices.
Use display: inline-block; on the text div.
I'm trying to make a multiline button, but the text gets cut off.
Button button = new Button( containerButton, SWT.PUSH );
button.setText( "Hello\nWorld" );
Is it possible to adjust the height of a button?
The only thing I found was setSize( width, height ) but that's not working.
Thanks!

Try to give the button a layout data e.g. a GridData. Here you can set e.g. the heightHint. This should work.
Maybe a good article to read would be:

I want to add text (at the beginning of a row) and an image at the end of the row.
I can set the text but how to set an image at the end of the row item in QTreeWidgetItem?
Just set for example two columns in QTreeWidget and then set text in first one and icon in second one:
QTreeWidgetItem *newItem = new QTreeWidgetItem;
newItem->setText(0, "Something");
newItem->setIcon(1, QIcon("Path to your icon"));
myTreeWidget->addTopLeveItem(newItem);
Or instread of setting icon you can just set foreground:
newItem->setForeground(QBrush(QPixmap("Path to your image")));
which may be better for your problem.
I have a QMessagebox with a custom background image. Since there is some stuff on the top side of the background image I want to see, the text of the messagebox should be lowered. Does anybody know how I can do this? I already tried throwing in some white lines using br, so:
popup.setText("<font size =5 color =white ><br>""<br>""<br>""Are you sure you
want to erase the memory</font> ");
but this screws up the background picture. Is there any way I can move the "box" that contains the text to a lower position?
You could try to get the QMessageBox' layout, get the label which holds your text and increment the labels margin. This probably is a hack and might make your project unportable. Construct your QMessageBox, call hack and then exec the box.
void hack(QMessageBox* pMessageBox)
{
QGridLayout* grid = qobject_cast<QGridLayout*>(pMessageBox->layout());
if (grid)
{
QLabel* label = qobject_cast<QLabel*>((grid->itemAtPosition(0,1))->widget());
if (label)
{
label->setMargin(label->margin()+5); // whatever is suitable
}
}
}
