Truncating(Clip) Excess text with Ellipsis in HTML5

      Text-overflow property in CSS gives the way to deal with the clipped text when the actual text content size is exceed the container box.
      'text-overflow' css attribute allows the text to be clipped when its exceed the allowed display area by setting text-overflow value as ellipsis, it will display ellipsis( three periods) following the clipped text.

.cliptext 
       {
            color: #eee;
            border: 1px solid #000000;
            overflow: hidden;
            width: 100%;
            text-overflow: ellipsis;
            white-space: nowrap;
        }

To get this ellipsis effect when the content fall outside the box you may need to set the boxs overflow property to hidden or scroll and white-space  property to  'nowrap'.

If you have any comments or suggestions in setting ellipsis please leave a comment.

Generate a random alpha-numeric string in Java

 /**
     * Generates alpha numeric random number for the given length.
     * for this it accounts lowercase alpha characters(a-z) and numbers(0-9)
     * @param length length of the alpha numeric random to be generated.
     * @return resulting random alpha numeric string for the given length.
     */
    public static String getAlphaNumbericRandom(int length) {
        //include lower case alpha(a-z) and numbers(0-9)
        String chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
        int numberOfCodes = 0;//controls the length of alpha numberic string
        String code = "";
        while (numberOfCodes < length) {
            char c = chars.charAt((int) (Math.random() * chars.length()));
            code += c;
            numberOfCodes++;
        }
        System.out.println("Code is :" + code);
        return code;
    }

If we want to create 6 digit apha numberic random means we have call getAlphaNumbericRandom methods as
