I'm trying to truncate anchor tag text in a element. I've added overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; to the style on my anchor tag, but it still wraps. Here's some html that reproduces it:
<html lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test Test 123</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%; padding-top: 1px;">
<div class="contents"
style="width: 512px; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
<div class="contents-body"
style="display: block; width: 512px;">
<table style="width:50%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
<tbody>
<tr style="justify-content:center;align-items:center;gap:56px;color:#848585">
<th style="padding-top:8px;padding-bottom: 10px; font-style:normal;font-weight:500;line-height:16px;letter-spacing:0.1px;text-align:left;width:25%">Column A</th>
<th style="padding-top:8px;padding-bottom: 10px; font-style:normal;font-weight:500;line-height:16px;letter-spacing:0.1px;text-align:left;width:25%">Column B</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3"
style="width:25%; padding-top:8px; padding-bottom:8px; text-align:left;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500;line-height:16px; letter-spacing:0.1px;">Entry A</td>
<td style="padding-top:8px; padding-bottom:8px; text-align:left;font-size:14px;font-style: normal;font-weight:400;line-height: 16px;letter-spacing:0.1px;text-decoration-line:underline;">
<a style="color:#E25323; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; width: 50 px;"
href="https://localhost">ABC123ABC-ABC123ABC`</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>It doesn't seem to like the 50px width on the anchor tag text, I think the column width is messing it up.
If you want it not to wrap, add white-space:nowrap;
If you want to set width set it 50px, not 50 px (spaces not allowed);
If you want width to take effect, make your <a> block-level, e.g. with display:inline-block
And here you are:
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test Test 123</title>

<table style="width:50%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
