The color of the ellipsis value does not match properly

In my table, I have lines that end with 3 dots '...' when the text overflows. To achieve this, I used the ellipsis value of the text-overflow property. While this works well and the '...' are displayed when resizing the window, I encountered two issues when a line in my table contains a span:

  • The '...' adopts the font color of the span.
  • The '...' are resized to match the font size of the span.

You can view a demo here.

Despite my efforts to find a solution, I have not been able to resolve these problems. Any help would be appreciated!

I should also mention that this functionality does not work on Internet Explorer but functions as expected on Chrome.

Thank you!

Answer №1

Dealing with a similar issue myself, where my text was displayed in white on a dark-gray background but the ellipsis appeared in black. I managed to resolve this by adjusting the color of the element containing the text-overflow: ellipsis property, as shown below:

.ellipsis-container {
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 200px;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    color: white;       /* --> custom ellipsis color */
}

Answer №2

It appears that there is an issue with IE, as it seems to be reading the color of the first element to determine the ellipsis color. However, I have discovered a workaround for this bug. I would suggest targeting IE specifically (and only the td elements using text-overflow) if possible. But as a temporary solution, you can try adding the following CSS code:

td:before {content: ''; color: black;}

Evidently, the color-defining content in the first td does not have to be actual content, as the pseudo content successfully resolved the issue.
