如果有人在这里寻找一种测量字符串宽度的方法，以及一种知道适合特定宽度的最大字体大小的方法，这里有一个基于@Domi的解决方案的函数，使用二进制搜索:

/**
 * Find the largest font size (in pixels) that allows the string to fit in the given width.
 * 
 * @param {String} text - The text to be rendered.
 * @param {String} font - The css font descriptor that text is to be rendered with (e.g. "bold ?px verdana") -- note the use of ? in place of the font size.
 * @param {Number} width - The width in pixels the string must fit in
 * @param {Number} minFontPx - The smallest acceptable font size in pixels
 * @param {Number} maxFontPx - The largest acceptable font size in pixels
 **/
function GetTextSizeForWidth(text, font, width, minFontPx, maxFontPx) {
  for (;;) {
    var s = font.replace("?", maxFontPx);
    var w = GetTextWidth(text, s);
    if (w <= width) {
      return maxFontPx;
    }

    var g = (minFontPx + maxFontPx) / 2;

    if (Math.round(g) == Math.round(minFontPx) || Math.round(g) == Math.round(maxFontPx)) {
      return g;
    }

    s = font.replace("?", g);
    w = GetTextWidth(text, s);
    if (w >= width) {
      maxFontPx = g;
    } else {
      minFontPx = g;
    }
  }
}

这是我随手拼凑的一个例子。看来我们都达成共识了。

String.prototype.width = function(font) {
  var f = font || '12px arial',
      o = $('<div></div>')
            .text(this)
            .css({'position': 'absolute', 'float': 'left', 'white-space': 'nowrap', 'visibility': 'hidden', 'font': f})
            .appendTo($('body')),
      w = o.width();

  o.remove();

  return w;
}

使用它很简单:"a string".width()

**增加了空格:nowrap，因此宽度大于窗口宽度的字符串可以被计算。

ExtJS javascript库中有一个很棒的类，叫做Ext.util.TextMetrics，它“为文本块提供精确的像素测量，这样你就可以准确地确定给定文本块的高和宽(以像素为单位)”。您可以直接使用它，也可以查看它的源代码以了解如何完成此操作。

工作示例:http://jsfiddle.net/tdpLdqpo/1/

HTML:

<h1 id="test1">
    How wide is this text?
</h1>
<div id="result1"></div>
<hr/>
<p id="test2">
    How wide is this text?
</p>
<div id="result2"></div>
<hr/>
<p id="test3">
    How wide is this text?<br/><br/>

</p>
<div id="result3"></div>

JavaScript代码:

function getTextWidth(text, font) {
    var canvas = getTextWidth.canvas ||
        (getTextWidth.canvas = document.createElement("canvas"));
    var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
    context.font = font;
    var metrics = context.measureText(text);
    return metrics.width;
};

$("#result1")
.text("answer: " +
    getTextWidth(
             $("#test1").text(),
             $("#test1").css("font")) + " px");

$("#result2")
    .text("answer: " +
        getTextWidth(
             $("#test2").text(),
             $("#test2").css("font")) + " px");

$("#result3")
    .text("answer: " +
        getTextWidth(
             $("#test3").text(),
             $("#test3").css("font")) + " px");

嘿，大家，我知道我来晚了一点，但我们开始吧

window.addEventListener("error",function(e){ alert(e.message); });
var canvas = new OffscreenCanvas(400, 50);
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.font = "16px Ariel"; //this can be dynamic using getComputedStyle
const chars = ["a","b","c","d","e","f"," ","    "];
const charWidths = new Map();
while(chars.length > 0){
  var char = chars.shift();
  var wide = ctx.measureText(char).width;
  charWidths.set(char,wide);
}

然后你可以用它来做如下的事情:

var pixelWidth = charWidths.get("0");
//fyi css properties like letter-spacing need to be accounted for

文本的宽度和高度可以通过clientWidth和clienttheight获得

var element = document.getElementById ("mytext");

var width = element.clientWidth;
var height = element.clientHeight;

确保style position属性被设置为absolute

element.style.position = "absolute";

不需要在div中，可以在p或span中
