javascript - Detect word wrap in contenteditable span - Stack Overflow

admin管理员组

文章数量:1430643

I have contenteditable span with a max-width setting that allows the user to enter text. What I'm looking to do is detect when the user reaches this width limit and a new line is displayed on the page. I am trying to create a WYSIWYG editor that creates text, (in SVG), exactly the way it looks in the contenteditable span when the user presses enter. I have successfully captured the enter event, so that is not an issue, I am looking for a way to either detect the word wrap, or calculate where it should occur. Any help is appreciated. (I can post sample code if needed)

When the height of the element changes, you know you have word-wrap occurring.

Monitor for a change event and see if the height changed. If it did, you have a word-wrap (or un-wrap). I threw together an example:
