Nice eye. Thanks for this... good enhancement. A good option for display, as it depends on what kind of numbers are being displayed and compared (fractions vs. big whole numbers).
In my case I was thinking of long strings such as SQL queries. We would show a few initial words, but in SQL they're typically the same.
For example:
I could write out some javascript for this, but IANA front-end or css expert.
For example:
select sum(sales) from tablexyz where region = 'West'
select sum(sales) from tablexyz where region = 'South'
I could write out some javascript for this, but IANA front-end or css expert.
Take this example data:
Imagine we have 5 display digits available; the default method is to display
But it might be better to show the distinguishing digit. eg:
However I don't know what the best design or display pattern for that would be.
