Jquery add elipse (...) and truncate text based on height not width.

Question

I have found many ways to measure width and to truncate text using jquery, but I can't find one based on height.

I am limited to two lines of text or it will knock my design out of canter.

So does anyone know a method of limiting a paragraph to two lines high, tuncating it and adding an elipse ?

CSS overflow with a <div>...</div> positioned at the bottom?
