Description Jessie Berlin 2009-07-22 09:51:41 PDT

Right now we support text-overflow clip and ellipsis, but we don't support the string option as specified in:

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#text-overflow

and we do not currently expose it in getComputedStyle(we have it listed as unimplemented in \WebCore\css\CSSComputedStyleDeclaration.cpp)

Comment 1 Jessie Berlin 2009-07-22 12:39:34 PDT

Splitting this bug into two, one to implement the CSS3 text-overflow <string> option, and the other to expose text-overflow in getComputedStyle

Comment 2 Karl Dubost 2022-05-31 00:29:38 PDT

The new specification doesn't have anymore 

`text-overflow: <string>`

in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#propdef-text-overflow
only the two values: clip and ellipsis are valid.

Only Firefox currently supports this feature. 
Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1771853 for removing it from Firefox.

This can be closed.

It is in CSS-overflow-4: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-4/#text-overflow . Could be worth implementing?
