Today I got a problem to show product title in 2 lines on product’s detail page…..

After some R&D………………..

I got solution by CSS to style a DIV with height for 2 line text and then overflow: hidden :)

I also used wordpress to wrap the text in next line for product’s description in 5 lines.

Amazing “DIV – Overflow Hidden” is great solution for making site symmetric :)
