Issue with inner span not inheriting max-width set on outer <td> element

Whenever I hover over a table cell, the Angular Bootstrap popover should appear next to the text. However, the 'span' element remains at its full width.

 <td style="max-width: 50px; text-align: left; white-space:nowrap; overflow:hidden; text-overflow:ellipsis;"> 
    <span popover="I appeared on mouse enter!" popover-trigger="mouseenter" popover-placement="right" >This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. </span>
 </td>

Here is a screenshot showing the issue.

Can anyone guide me on how to make the popover display right next to the text?

I attempted putting a max width on the span itself, but that did not seem to solve the problem.

Answer №1

After thorough consideration, I have come up with a resolution:

1) Replace the 'span' tag with a 'div'

2) Implement the following CSS style to the div:

style="white-space:nowrap; overflow:hidden; text-overflow:ellipsis;"
