Is there simpler way to truncate strings in middle when table is resized?

$

I am trying to make a prototype of file browser on web, and it has a table that shows list of files. I want to make the table flexible, to adjust column widths according to screen width and able to truncate file names to show only 1-line texts in cells. And I want it truncate the strings in the middle, not in tails, to show file name extensions.

I was able to make a code with some research. But the problem is that, the code seems too heavy so when I tested it makes web view slow and crash sometime. Is there any way simpler to bring out same result?

  • When screen is resized and I call the width value of table cell, the number never goes below certain number - but visually the width is smaller than the number. Can you inform me what is causing that problem?

HTML

<table id = "listTable">
    <tr class = "listTable_firstRow">
        <th style = "width: 54px;"><img src="assets/unchecked.png" style = "width: 16px; display: table-cell; margin: auto;" id = "tableSelAll"></th>
        <th style = "width: 54px;">Type</th>
        <th style = "text-align: left;padding-left: 18px; min-width: 0px;">Name</th>
        <th style = "width: 12%; min-width: 72px;">Owner</th>
        <th style = "width: 12%; min-width: 72px;">Last modified</th>
        <th style = "width: 12%; min-width: 72px;">Updated</th>
        <th style = "width: 12%; min-width: 72px;">File size</th>
    </tr>
</table>
