Question

Is it possible to split a string based on the pixel-length, not the character-length?

I don’t want a headline of an article to break line and “destroy” the design.

Answer 1

ASP pages are working on the server-side.

The pixel-length or the characher-length of a text is dependent on which font is being used in the browser on the client side.

There are fonts called mono-spaced. That means all the letters of the fonts have fixed length. If you are using this type of font then you can calculate the pixel-length of the text. Like:

<%
    letter_length = 12 
    pixel_length = letter_length * Len(strHeader)
%>

Or, if the font is not a mono-spaced font, then maybe you can create an array of pixel-lengths for the font for yourself. And maybe calculate the pixel-length of the whole text, but I discourage you to do it that way because its much more hard-code needed!

And my question to your question is.. Why you are trying to achieve that with asp (the server-side language)?
