Wrapping up the text inside an `
` element

Question

I've created a form, where I have a side nav-bar. In that, all the

elements are placed such a way that two

s fall in one line. Now, the problem is, whenever the text of a

element increases, it affects the other

elements. This is how I've tried:

body {
  overflow-x: hidden;
}
    
    /* Toggle Styles */
    
#wrapper {
  padding-left: 0;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  -moz-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  -o-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  transition: all 0.5s ease;
}
    
#wrapper.toggled {
  padding-left: 250px;
}
    
#sidebar-wrapper {
  z-index: 1000;
  position: fixed;
  left: 250px;
  width: 0;
  height: 100%;
  margin-left: -250px;
  overflow-y: auto;
  background: #000;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  -moz-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  -o-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  transition: all 0.5s ease;
}
    
#wrapper.toggled #sidebar-wrapper {
  width: 250px;
}
    
#page-content-wrapper {
  width: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  padding: 15px;
}
    
#wrapper.toggled #page-content-wrapper {
  position: absolute;
  margin-right: -250px;
}
    
  /* Sidebar Styles */
    
.sidebar-nav {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  width: 120px;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  text-indent: -2em;
}
    
.sidebar-nav li {
  text-indent: 20px;
  line-height: 40px;
}
    
.sidebar-nav li a {
  display: block;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #999999;
}
    
.sidebar-nav li a:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2);
}
    
.sidebar-nav li a:active,
.sidebar-nav li a:focus {
  text-decoration: none;
}
    
.sidebar-nav > .sidebar-brand {
  height: 65px;
  font-size: 18px;
  line-height: 60px;
}
    
.sidebar-nav > .sidebar-brand a {
  color: #999999;
}
    
.sidebar-nav > .sidebar-brand a:hover {
  color: #fff;
  background: none;
}
    
.sidebar-nav_wrapper    {
  float:left;
  margin-left:5px;
}


  
    Select Field Type
    
    	
      Single Line
      Pick List
      Multi Select
      Multi Line
      Email
      Phone Number
      Mobile Number
    
  
  
    
      Date
      Time
      Date-Time
      Checkbox
      Radio
      Decimal
      Number
      Auto Number

What I want is, whenever the text size of a

increases, only few letters should be shown outside, succeeded by ... I've provided my css and HTML. I don't know what to correct and where to correct. So, can someone help me to achieve what I want?

You can use white-space: nowrap; to prevent text from wrapping to a second line, and text-overflow: ellipsis; to display ... instead of an overflowing text part
