这对我很有用……

// Handy JavaScript to measure the size taken to render the supplied text;
// you can supply additional style information too if you have it.

function measureText(pText, pFontSize, pStyle) {
    var lDiv = document.createElement('div');

    document.body.appendChild(lDiv);

    if (pStyle != null) {
        lDiv.style = pStyle;
    }
    lDiv.style.fontSize = "" + pFontSize + "px";
    lDiv.style.position = "absolute";
    lDiv.style.left = -1000;
    lDiv.style.top = -1000;

    lDiv.textContent = pText;

    var lResult = {
        width: lDiv.clientWidth,
        height: lDiv.clientHeight
    };

    document.body.removeChild(lDiv);
    lDiv = null;

    return lResult;
}

我猜这和Depak的条目很相似，但这是基于Louis Lazaris在impressiveweb页面上发表的一篇文章

(function($){

        $.fn.autofit = function() {             

            var hiddenDiv = $(document.createElement('div')),
            content = null;

            hiddenDiv.css('display','none');

            $('body').append(hiddenDiv);

            $(this).bind('fit keyup keydown blur update focus',function () {
                content = $(this).val();

                content = content.replace(/\n/g, '<br>');
                hiddenDiv.html(content);

                $(this).css('width', hiddenDiv.width());

            });

            return this;

        };
    })(jQuery);

fit事件用于在函数关联到控件之后立即执行函数调用。

例如:$(“输入”).autofit () .trigger(“适合”);

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)
        }
    }
});

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);

根据Deepak Nadar的回答，我修改了函数参数，以接受文本和字体样式。您不需要引用元素。此外，fontOptions有默认值，所以您不需要提供所有的选项。

(function($) { $.format = function(format) { return (function(format, args) { return format.replace(/{(\d+)}/g, function(val, pos) { return typeof args[pos] !== 'undefined' ? args[pos] : val; }); }(format, [].slice.call(arguments, 1))); }; $.measureText = function(html, fontOptions) { fontOptions = $.extend({ fontSize: '1em', fontStyle: 'normal', fontWeight: 'normal', fontFamily: 'arial' }, fontOptions); var $el = $('<div>', { html: html, css: { position: 'absolute', left: -1000, top: -1000, display: 'none' } }).appendTo('body'); $(fontOptions).each(function(index, option) { $el.css(option, fontOptions[option]); }); var h = $el.outerHeight(), w = $el.outerWidth(); $el.remove(); return { height: h, width: w }; }; }(jQuery)); var dimensions = $.measureText("Hello World!", { fontWeight: 'bold', fontFamily: 'arial' }); // Font Dimensions: 94px x 18px $('body').append('<p>').text($.format('Font Dimensions: {0}px x {1}px', dimensions.width, dimensions.height)); <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

你可以使用画布，这样你就不必处理这么多css属性:

var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.font = "20pt Arial";  // This can be set programmaticly from the element's font-style if desired
var textWidth = ctx.measureText($("#myElement").text()).width;
