Imagine a scenario where you have a fixed-size container and need all the elements to fit inside. The issue arises when some elements contain lots of text, causing the overflow to be hidden but still stretching beyond the container's height. How can this be managed effectively?
Edit: Setting overflow on the container hides overflowing text but ignores the bottom padding, resulting in an unequal appearance. Is there a way to trim the text 5px from the bottom border for uniformity?
.outer {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
.inner {
padding: 5px;
background-color: #ccc;
height: 150px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.text {
overflow: hidden;
}<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
<span style="color: red">Some element so we can't make text 100% height</span>
<div class="text">
