Set line limit on text box

Issue Description

If you have a text area that requires a limited height, and JS isn’t going to cut it if there’s HTML inside, then you can use this technique to add an ellipsis at the end of the limit.

This solution has been tested to work in Chrome, FireFox, Safari and Opera. It most likely won’t work in IE so, if the ellipsis is very important, don’t use it as a total solution.

Code Snippets

display: -webkit-box;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
-webkit-line-clamp: 5;
