+<p>2016-11-15</p>
+<p>A common issue when working with constrained UI elements is text overflowing outside of it&#8217;s parent or breaking into addition lines (thus breaking the layout).</p>
+<p>This is most commonly seen with the direct and placeholder values for input fields on form elements. For example, the following input placeholder will be cutoff from the user&#8217;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&#8217;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>
