Default How would I discover the text in a block element hidden by overflow:hidden style being set? - 09-20-2005 , 12:42 PM






Specifically, assume I have a div tag of absolute dimensions. I need
to figure out, first, whether or not the text inside the div tag is
partially hidden by the overflow setting, and if so, what the hidden
text is.

Is this even possible? Obviously, the rendering engine in the browser
"knows" this information, but is it accessible through Javascript?
