Is it possible to use this plugin with the "max-height" css property? Currently, it only works with a specific height defined but not with max-height. Is there a way to make it compatible with max-height as well?
(function($) {
$.fn.ellipsis = function()
{
return this.each(function()
{
var el = $(this);
if(el.css("overflow") == "hidden")
{
var text = el.html();
var multiline = el.hasClass('multiline');
var t = $(this.cloneNode(true))
.hide()
.css('position', 'absolute')
.css('overflow', 'visible')
.width(multiline ? el.width() : 'auto')
.height(multiline ? 'auto' : el.height())
;
el.after(t);
function height() { return t.height() > el.height(); };
function width() { return t.width() > el.width(); };
var func = multiline ? height : width;
while (text.length > 0 && func())
{
text = text.substr(0, text.length - 1);
t.html(text + "...");
}
el.html(t.html());
t.remove();
}
});
};
})(jQuery);
