Controlling the max text length

[adaykin]

Hello, I am trying to control the max length that the text appears, before it goes to the next line in a div. So I want the div to be say 100, but I want the text to only reach 50 before it wraps to the next line. Is there a way I can do this?

It's possible using JavaScript. Use the slice() function to do it. More on slice() function at

Or you could just use padding (which can be added directly to your div id)

So if your div is 100px long and you would like it to start a new line at 50px you would add

padding-right:50px
