In centered h1 elements, if the text falls on multiple lines, line breaks make the text look like this:

                This is a header that takes

    Late to this party, but here's my approach. I get the initial element height (any elements with the class balance_lines, in the code below), then incrementally shrink the width of the element. Once the height of the element changes, I've gone too far. The step before that should have lovely roughly-equal line lengths.

    $('.balance_lines').each(function(){
        var currentHeight = $(this).height();
        var thisHeight = currentHeight;
        var currentWidth = $(this).width();
        var newWidth = currentWidth;
        // Try shrinking width until height changes
        while (thisHeight == currentHeight) {
            var testWidth = newWidth - 10;
            $(this).width(testWidth);
            thisHeight = $(this).height();
            if (thisHeight == currentHeight) {
                newWidth = testWidth;
            } else {
                break;
            }
        }
        $(this).width(newWidth);
    });

    I would solve it using only strict JavaScript, going this way:

    1. put a class named 'truncate' to h1 tags you want to break
    2. configure the javascript code on your needs knowing that

  • MAXCOUNT: (integer) max chars counted per line
  • COUNT_SPACES: (boolean) white spaces must be counted?
  • COUNT_PUNCTUATION: (boolean) punctuation must be counted?
  • EXACT: (boolean) the last word must be cut?
  • BLOCKS_CLASS: (string) the className of the h1 to consider

    I wrote the code very quickly so it must be better tested for bugs, but it can be a starting point I think.

    I'm not using jQuery in this code to keep the code light and to avoid dependencies.
    I think I'm using all cross-browser commands (cannot test it I've got only linux now). However any correction for cross-browser compatibility task (included the use of jQUery if requested) might be easy.

    Here is the code:

    <html>
    
    <head>
        <style>
            h1 {background-color: yellow;}
            #hiddenDiv {background-color: yellow; display: table-cell; visibility:hidden;}
        </style>
        <script>
    
            var MAXCOUNT            = 20;
            var COUNT_SPACES        = false;
            var EXACT               = false;
            var COUNT_PUNCTUATION   = true;
            var BLOCKS_CLASS        = 'truncate';
    
            window.onload = function () 
            {
                var hidden = document.getElementById('hiddenDiv');
    
                if (hidden == null)
                {
                    hidden = document.createElement('div');
                    hidden.id = 'hiddenDiv';
                    document.body.appendChild(hidden);
                }
    
                var blocks = document.getElementsByClassName(BLOCKS_CLASS);     
    
                for (var i=0; i<blocks.length; i++)
                {
                    var block           = blocks[i];
                    var text            = block.innerHTML;
                    var truncate        = '';
                    var html_tag        = false;
                    var special_char    = false;
                    maxcount            = MAXCOUNT;
                    for (var x=0; x<maxcount; x++)
                    {
                        var previous_char = (x>0) ? text.charAt(x-1) : '';
                        var current_char = text.charAt(x);
    
                        // Closing HTML tags

    And here is a demo of that: http://jsfiddle.net/6rtdF/

    The CSS Text 4 draft proposes text-wrap: balance, but I don't think any browser implements it yet.

    In the meantime, you can use Adobe's jQuery plugin (demo): https://github.com/adobe-webplatform/balance-text
