How can I show ellipsis (...) when text is cut off in a Webflow textbox due to the size of the block? Can anyone provide the necessary code or solution? Thank you!

To show an ellipsis (...) when text gets cut off in a Webflow textbox, you can use CSS text overflow and white-space properties. Here's the solution:

  1. Step 1: Select the textbox element in your Webflow project.
  2. Step 2: Go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side.
  3. Step 3: Click on the "+" button next to the Typography section to add a new custom class.
  4. Step 4: In the custom class, scroll down to the "Typography" section and click on the "Add Property" button.
  5. Step 5: Choose the "Text Overflow" property and set it to "ellipsis".
  6. Step 6: Add another property by clicking on the "Add Property" button again.
  7. Step 7: Choose the "White Space" property and set it to "nowrap".
  8. Step 8: Publish your site to see the effect.

Alternatively, if you prefer to use code, you can add the following CSS snippet to your project:

```
.custom-class {
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
}
```

Make sure to replace "custom-class" with the appropriate class name you've assigned to your textbox element in Webflow.

By using the CSS properties "overflow: hidden", "text-overflow: ellipsis", and "white-space: nowrap", you're essentially telling the browser to clip any overflowing text within the textbox, display an ellipsis, and prevent line breaks respectively.

This will ensure that when the text within the textbox exceeds its container's width, it will be truncated and replaced with an ellipsis.
