Overflow:hidden dots at the end

You can use text-overflow: ellipsis; which according to caniuse is supported by all the major browsers.

Here’s a demo on jsbin.

.cut-text { 
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden; 
  width: 160px; 
  height: 1.2em; 
  white-space: nowrap;
}
<div class="cut-text">
I like big butts and I can not lie.
</div>
