For example, the following input placeholder will be cutoff from the user's view:</p> +<p><a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/OgpzyY/">CodePen live example</a></p> +<p>Luckily, 3 simple CSS parameters can fix this.</p> +<pre><code>input::placeholder { + overflow: hidden; + text-overflow: ellipsis; + white-space: nowrap; +} +</code></pre> +<p>This allows the user to understand there is more content cut out from their current view. It's not ideal to ever have content overflowing outside of the parent container, but if you need to the best workaround is to use text-overflow.</p> +<footer role="contentinfo"> + <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> + <ul id="menu"> + <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> + <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> + <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> + <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> + <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> + <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> + <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> + <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> + </ul> + <small> + Built with <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/barf">barf</a>. <br> + Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> + Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> + The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. + </small> +</footer>
