How can I force overflow: hidden to not use up my padding-right space
- by AlfaTeK
I have the following code:
<div style="width: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid red;
background-color: #c0c0c0;
padding-right: 20px;
">
2222222222222222222222111111111111111111111111113333333333333333333</div>
(XHTML 1.0 transitional)
What happens is that the padding-right doesn't appear, it's occupied by the content, which means the overflow uses up the padding right space and only "cuts off" after the padding.
Is there any way to force the browser to overflow before the padding-right, which means my div will show with the padding right?
What I get is the first div in the following image, what i want is something like the 2nd div:
