Question

I have this:

<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Some long text here</p>
  </li>
</ul>

is there a way to get the p text to be restricted to a single line, and have it ellipsize if it’s going to be wider than the parent container?

Thanks

Answer 1

This is the exact one you are looking for. Its a jQuery plugin. Once you add this plugin, all you have to do is wrap it in a div like this. It automatically wraps based on the text size you specify.

<ul>
  <li>
    <div class="expandable">
        <p>Some long text here</p>
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>
