你也可以使用createRange，这比文本克隆技术更准确:

function getNodeTextWidth(nodeWithText) {
    var textNode = $(nodeWithText).contents().filter(function () {
        return this.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE;
    })[0];
    var range = document.createRange();
    range.selectNode(textNode);
    return range.getBoundingClientRect().width;
}

    var textNode = $(nodeWithText).contents().filter(function () {

    })[0];
    var range = document.createRange();
    range.selectNode(textNode);
    return range.getBoundingClientRect().width;
}

没有jQuery:

String.prototype.width = function (fontSize) {
    var el,
        f = fontSize + " px arial" || '12px arial';
    el = document.createElement('div');
    el.style.position = 'absolute';
    el.style.float = "left";
    el.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';
    el.style.visibility = 'hidden';
    el.style.font = f;
    el.innerHTML = this;
    el = document.body.appendChild(el);
    w = el.offsetWidth;
    el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
    return w;
}

// Usage
"MyString".width(12);

下面的代码片段，“计算”span标签的宽度，如果它太长，就添加“…”，并减少文本长度，直到它适合它的父标签(或者直到它尝试了超过1000次)

CSS

div.places {
  width : 100px;
}
div.places span {
  white-space:nowrap;
  overflow:hidden;
}

HTML

<div class="places">
  <span>This is my house</span>
</div>
<div class="places">
  <span>And my house are your house</span>
</div>
<div class="places">
  <span>This placename is most certainly too wide to fit</span>
</div>

JavaScript(使用jQuery)

// loops elements classed "places" and checks if their child "span" is too long to fit
$(".places").each(function (index, item) {
    var obj = $(item).find("span");
    if (obj.length) {
        var placename = $(obj).text();
        if ($(obj).width() > $(item).width() && placename.trim().length > 0) {
            var limit = 0;
            do {
                limit++;
                                    placename = placename.substring(0, placename.length - 1);
                                    $(obj).text(placename + "...");
            } while ($(obj).width() > $(item).width() && limit < 1000)
        }
    }
});

getclientrects()方法返回一个DOMRect对象的集合，用于指示客户端中每个CSS边界框的包围矩形。返回值是一个DOMRect对象的集合，对应于与元素关联的每个CSS边框框。每个DOMRect对象都包含以像素为单位的描述边界框的只读左、上、右和下属性，其中左上角相对于视口的左上角。

Mozilla contributor的Element.getClientRects()是CC-BY-SA 2.5授权的。

将所有返回的矩形宽度相加，就得到了文本的总宽度(以像素为单位)。

document.getElementById('in').addEventListener('input', function (event) { var span = document.getElementById('text-render') span.innerText = event.target.value var rects = span.getClientRects() var widthSum = 0 for (var i = 0; i < rects.length; i++) { widthSum += rects[i].right - rects[i].left } document.getElementById('width-sum').value = widthSum }) <p><textarea id='in'></textarea></p> <p><span id='text-render'></span></p> <p>Sum of all widths: <output id='width-sum'>0</output>px</p>

jQuery:

(function($) {

 $.textMetrics = function(el) {

  var h = 0, w = 0;

  var div = document.createElement('div');
  document.body.appendChild(div);
  $(div).css({
   position: 'absolute',
   left: -1000,
   top: -1000,
   display: 'none'
  });

  $(div).html($(el).html());
  var styles = ['font-size','font-style', 'font-weight', 'font-family','line-height', 'text-transform', 'letter-spacing'];
  $(styles).each(function() {
   var s = this.toString();
   $(div).css(s, $(el).css(s));
  });

  h = $(div).outerHeight();
  w = $(div).outerWidth();

  $(div).remove();

  var ret = {
   height: h,
   width: w
  };

  return ret;
 }

})(jQuery);
