overflow: hidden behind padding

Question

Is it possible to define where overflow: hidden begins based on padding?

Answer 1

The solution like the following example should work:

div {
    border:1px solid #000;    
    padding:20px;
    width:50px;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;          
}
