Break long text - javascript

I have a div which has width of say 200px. It does not show horizontal scroll bar. Now if anyone types any word more than 200px worth, it is simply hidden. I am wondering if its possible to automatically put a newline tag after every word reaches 200px length?
Thank you for your time.

You can achive this using simple CSS using
WORD-BREAK: break-ALL.
<div style="width: 200px; word-break: break-all">Content goes here</div>
Hope this is what you were looking for...

It's a tricky problem, but you should probably read http://www.quirksmode.org/oddsandends/wbr.html.
basically, there is somewhat inconsistent support and the linked article proposes use of:
wbr:after { content: "\00200B" }
in your css, and using the <wbr/> tag in your html

There is a soft-hyphen that lets you define where a word can be broken up (For example, prod-uct-iv-ity) which doesn't display any hyphens, just defines where they could show up if the word has to wrap lines. It is entity ­

If you have mono-spaced font, it'd be easy to count number of characters, and just insert a break-tag. But it's harder to calculate where to put in the break-tag with normal fonts.
For IE, you can set word-break: break-all; which will break words when they reach a certain length...

word-break is good, but it is said not to work in firefox. (haven't tested.)
For firefox, use javascript.
It does work in webkit though.

Textarea overflowing text when typing in repeated characters

I have this weird issue that I can't seem to solve.
I made this comment section where you type into the text area, hit DONE and your comment shows up in the comment section (pretty straight forward).
The issue here though is that if you type a "normal" text into the area it produces it properly with line breaks when the text hits the border of the container, but if you type one character continuously it produces it all in one line ... (see picture below).
Has anyone had this issue before and any ideas on how to fix that, just to prevent idiots from bugging my application.
Thanks in advance, have a lovely week!
Actually I've just figured it out ... in CSS: word-break: break-word
... that's literally all I had to do. Sorry to bother you and I hope this helps others if anything!
the issue is because there is no whitespace to break the word, as suggested use word-break: break-all
you can also style it by using overflow: hidden
and also hyphens hyphens: auto;

I hope this is what you looking for,
div {
word-wrap: break-word;
}

How to deal with text overflow in fixed height container

I was just thinking, that is there a way to deal with text overflow with dynamic text in a fixed height layout?
I often see when I have to sitebuild for backend developers, that there is a fixed height container/layer (Like a card or thubnail) where you can't use the overflow: auto
css property becouse the design is not allowing it.
Let us assume that I would use ellipsis, but the text can be in 2 lines long.
I could use the :after or :before pseudo but what if the dots I created will be overflown on the text, or pushed out of the container?
If I use Javascript and maximalize the characters number, than it will break the world like this: Hello worl... .
Yeah sure, we can maximalize the characters in the backend side in each field, but sometimes it won't work properly in smaller devices (Tablet, mobile).
Here is a jsfiddle if I didn't tell in a good way, what I'm thinking about.
My question is, what is the best practice to solve this problem?
did you try line-clamp
.line-clamp {
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-line-clamp: 3;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
}

Word overflowing in div

I am working on a khmer site, I dont know the language, the words are too long. I am trying to fit them in div but they are over flowing. Is there a way that the part of word comes down automatically such that it fits in the div, and over flow part is in next line.
I dont know what to do with it, please help.
Find the image in the attachment
You should use the word-wrap property of CSS to force the text to stay inside div without overflowing.
word-wrap: break-word
See the DEMO here
Check without this property and with it to see the difference.
See if this works - word-wrap: break-word;
Use the word-wrap CSS property:
.mydiv {
word-wrap: break-word;
}
You can give the below CSS style to the div to prevent the div text from overflowing.
div {
word-wrap: break-word;
}
There is an CSS Attribute for "text overflow" inside HTML Objects
You can do somesthing like that to prevent an overflow by default.
.ellipsis {
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}
reference at W3School
Please note that text-overflow property only occurs when the containers overflow property has the value hidden, scroll or auto.
If you want to warp the long words in multiple lines instead of just "cutting" them you may use "word-wrap: break-word;" which causes the Browser to split long words. (reference)
Please note that both specs are widely supported but very old browsers may ignore them. You can see details in the references.

how do i align the span tags in div tag in a well designed way?

Well Im stucked at this point.please take a look at this http://jsfiddle.net/karthik64/5jhgF/3/
Okay first enter some input into the input box and hit enter you would see a span element added to the div and try to input some more values and
I guess you got what the problem is.Could anyone tell me how do i fit those <span> tags in <div> tag in a nice manner.
I have set my div tag width and using javscript I add some elements to div tag and I get some kind of wierd bugs something like for example . if user enters dennis ritchie , steve jobs and bill gates my code works likes this
..dennis ritchie.. ..steve jobs.. ..bil
l gates..
Instead it should be like this
..dennis ritchie.. ..steve jobs..
..bill gates..
if it cannot fit the span tag in that remaining space, I want the whole span tag element jump to next line instead of breaking the span tag value how do i do that .please help me with this.any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks
<span>s are not block-level elements and are not rendered like you describe by default (they wrap with text). Apply the CSS display: inline-block; to your spans to stop them from wrapping.
On newer browsers, add display: inline-block; to the .music_elements style rule.
On older browsers, float: left; might work.

sIFR 3 Leading and Kerning

I am trying to get leading and kerning to work on some sIFR 3 type on a site I'm working on (as described in the wiki: http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3/Styling), but these two parameters seem to have no effect no matter what I do.
I am not using intergers (no 'px' or 'em') just as it requires. I've also tried several different font swf files, just to make sure it's not the font. I don't know why it doesn't work. All of the other css parameters that I assign to .sIFR-root work just fine. Here's a sample of my code using 'leading'.
In sifr_config.js:
sIFR.replace(snl, {
selector: '.section-title h1',
css: ['.sIFR-root { color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; leading:2; }'],
wmode: 'transparent'
});
In the HTML doc:
<div class="section-title">
<h1>sIFR Text</h1>
</div>
(I've also tried the css code with and without the square brackets, as I've seen it done both ways. Doesn't seem to make a difference).
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks!
ETA: Found an less hackish way:
line-height seems to work when added to the CSS for the replaced element (in my example that'd be: .sIFR-active .section-title h1). So I was able to use regular old line-height to fake a margin.
All righty—since this one left everyone speechless, here's what I discovered:
Originally, there were many suggestions for using leading as a replacment for margin-top or padding-top since these will not work with sIFR. This is what I was trying to use it for. I had a single line of text and needed to give it some space up top, so I was trying to do this by increasing the leading (line height) to no avail. I think this worked at one point, but then as I was looking at the change logs for all the revisions of sIFR, I found a note about a "fix" to leading. Apparently the developer considered leading being recognized on single-line text as a bug, so "fixed" it so that leading is only applied when the text is multiple lines. I tested by putting a line-break before my text, and sure enough, leading started to work!
So it seems that now, in order to achieve a top margin on my sIFR header, I have to add unneccessary code one way or another—by wrapping it in a div or span with a top margin, or by adding a line break and using negative leading.
I still have no idea about the kerning, but letter-spacing seems to be working, so…
If anyone has any additional insight to offer, I'm all ears!
Here's what works for me, using sIFR 3 to get a h2 with Serifa font in red with minimal letter spacing and leading. The actual sIFR swf is nothing special, simply created as per the sIFR documentation. As mentioned above, offsetTop and tuneHeight also work for adjusting positioning (shown below although I haven't used them so set to 0).
In sifr.css
.sIFR-active h2.replace {
color: #FF0000;
visibility: hidden;
font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;
font-size: 2.5em;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
in sifr-config.js
sIFR.replace(serifa, {
selector: 'h2.replace',
css: ['.sIFR-root { letter-spacing: -2; leading: -15; kerning:true; color:#FF0000; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:2.5em; }' ],
tuneWidth: '0' , tuneHeight: '0' , offsetTop: '0' });
In html page (for example):
<div class="column grid_4">
<h2 class="replace">Title here</h2>
</div>
