  • Overflowing text is actually a feature of CSS, but it can feel like a pretty annoying one 😂. Depending on the situation, there are different ways we can deal with it though, so in this video I look at 4 different ways that could come in handy in different situations.

    Another good option is to add the ­ character where you would like the word to break. In this case you could have awe­some. It adds a hyphen if the word doesn't fit, but otherwise it's invisible

      But then you're coupling markup with presentation. We shouldn't have to pollute the content like this to account for or workaround limitations in the UI.

    This problem occurs many times in my projects and i don't how, but somehow Kevin always manage to predict what we need and what's most useful for us one by one.I really appreciate these super juicy knowledge you are sharing with us Kevin.
    You are filling that 20% knowledge gap which makes the difference between an intermediate, advance and Professional developers.

    I know this is a JavaScript solution, but I had one project where I finally gave up trying to deal with word wrapping on wildly varying length of text in some headings that I wrote a javascript function and attached a listener to page load that calculated the height of the element and if it was 2 times the line height it would reduce the font size by a percentage and recalculate until the element height was equal to or less than the line height. It was a little clumsy since a page would load with a heading that occupied more than one line and then users could see the heading change sizes really quickly and realign the element flow accordingly. So it was probably bad for page speed and other seo metrics. But it fixed that immediate problem at least.

    Hey Kevin, I couldn't get this to post in your TH-cam ideas section. Here recently I was trying to answer a question on how to set a margin on a item in a navbar that uses bootstrap classes, but when I got to looking at the documentation I got confused. I was wondering if you could make a video on the topic. I'm sure people n would want to watch it. Thanks again for the b work you do. It's appreciated.

  • @makingtheweb6620

    Perhaps you should make an algorithm of your choice or so a poll on what improvements would be the easy way for ways to make it much easier to make a website/s. The whole CSS eco system seems very un-human-friendly and overly complicated. I'm sure you have some great ideas on ways to make the job much straight down.

    Careful with some of those. For WCAG 2,1 the user must be able to achieve 200% bigger font sizes without loss. Clamp can torpedo that as just one example.

    • @KevinPowell
      @KevinPowell  ปีที่แล้ว

      If font-sizes are set in rem (and the middle value in the clamp() includes a + rem value), it shouldn't cause any issues... I think 🤔
