I'm not sure why the CSS attribute that restricts character numbers exists

https://i.sstatic.net/dkRt3.png

The Divtag appears to be malfunctioning due to insufficient properties. I am currently unsure of how to resolve this issue and would appreciate any insights or opinions.

<div class="col boardsBox" style="margin-right:0.5%">
        <h5 style="padding-top:2%">@lang('home/main.community') 
                <a href="{{ route('community.index') }}" class="btn btn-secondary float-right"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a>
        </h5>
        <hr>
        <table>
            <tbody>
                @foreach($communities as $community)
                <tr>
                    <td style="padding-top:0.5%; overflow:hidden;white-space:nowrap;text-overflow:ellipsis;">

                     <a class="boardsFont" href="{{ route('community.show',['boardNum'=>$community->num])}}">
                            <i class="fa fa-check-square"></i>&nbsp;{{ $conference->name}}

                            @if($community->comment_count != 0)
                            <span style="color:gray">({{ $community->comment_count }})</span>
                            @endif
                        </a>

                    </td>
                </tr>
                @endforeach
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>

To achieve the ellipsis effect and handle overflow, it is necessary to specify a width or max-width for the element containing the text, such as the td in this scenario.

It is important to note that without access to the actual content, only a table structure was utilized with placeholder text within the anchor elements to showcase how short text is displayed properly. On the other hand, when the text exceeds the specified max-width, truncation occurs and an ellipsis appears at the end of the text.

td {
  padding-top:0.5%; 
  overflow:hidden;
  white-space:nowrap;
  text-overflow:ellipsis;
  max-width: 300px
}
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td >
             <a class="boardsFont" href="#"> This is a short message </a>
            </td>
        </tr>
          <tr>
            <td >
             <a class="boardsFont" href="#"> This is a really long and extended message to demonstrate the ellipsis content</a>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
