In this article, we would like to show you how to check if text-overflow: ellipsis is active using JavaScript.

Quick solution:

Note:

Don't confuse checking if ellipsis is active with checking if text overflows the element.

 

Practical example

Edit

In this example, we detect if text overflows element, if it does we additionally check if the element's text-overflow style property value is set to ellipses.
