I need to display text from array I did it with ng-repeat and when the text bigger then 4 lines add ellipsis and link view more I did the ellipsis and also function that return if there are ellipsis and then I display link but its going down a row. I wanna find way to do it... the situation now I would love for you to help me. Attached is html,js code
<div class="comment1 aop-ellipssis four">
{{item.description}}
</div>
<span ng-if="c.isOverflown('comment1',$index)" ng-click="c.openLink(item.sys_id)" class="ag-link" >View More</span>
` function _isOverflown(elem,index){
var element = angular.element('.'+elem)[index];
return element.scrollHeight > element.clientHeight ;}
`
here is a possible average trick , keep some space for that link and set it in absolute position inside a relative parent where stands the text to clamp :
demo below , that fails to hide the motre link if text is filling partially the last line without ellipsis.
edit : to match your screenshot you added, javascript is there for such a job, CSS won't help I'll leave the answer here for curiosity only. :)
div {
width: 400px;
margin: 1em auto 0;
line-height: 1.4;
border-top: solid;
padding-bottom: 1.4em;/* == line-height */
position: relative; /* for coordonate reference to position the more link */
overflow:hidden;/* hide a if here and too far from top */
}
div p { /* text-clipping*/
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
-webkit-line-clamp: 3;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
}
div p+a {
position: absolute;
top: 4.2em;/* == line-height x line-clamp */
right:1rem;
background:#bee
