My site has numerous horizontal lists of words. If the row has too many words to display in one row, it needs to display an "expand" button. Right now I determine if the row is full by adding up the estimated widths of the letters, but I am wondering if there is a simpler way to do this. Is there any way using javascript or any library (especially YUI or jQuery) to determine if an element has overflow?

I assume you're referring to the overflow css property of DOM nodes. In that case you could pare the scrollWidth as opposed to the clientWidth.

Understanding offsetWidth, clientWidth, scrollWidth and -Height, respectively
