Topic: How to prevent Datatable from truncating column text.

tmdb priority asked 2 years ago


How to prevent data tables from truncating column text. It replaces excess text with "..." I would like it to wrap text instead so that all content in the column is visible.

Here is the snippet: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/m-duszak/3921095#css-tab-view

I used this CSS:

.datatable table td {
    white-space: normal;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

Is there a way to make the datatable acting the same way as the table?(Transforming text-overflow to multiline)

Try to add this in your styles:

.datatable table td, .datatable table th {
    text-overflow: unset;
    max-width: unset;
}
