Hi, When using CSS overflow: hidden , I've often found that the last line of text gets partially cut-off. Is there a way to prevent this so that any partial lines do not show-up. Almost like a veritcal word-wrap.
Thanks!

Rob is correct. I was making a div that had a max-height of 11em and the last line of overflow text was only half there. white-space: nowrap just eliminates that last line all together.
I tried
white-space: nowrap;
and Gaby is also correct that this causes problems too.
The best I came up with was to fiddle with the line-height and div height until the fewest lines were cut-off

this only works because your last line was produced by a long line wrapping. If there was an <br /> in it, it would still partially show .. You need to make sure that the `height` of the div can be exactly divided by its `line-height` ..

Makes sense. I did make the height of the div something like 11em. Would that make any difference?
