how fixing height of div 2 lines high, , using overflow:hidden;?

for example:

<style type="text/css">   .twolines   {      font-size: 20px;      height: 48px;      overflow: hidden;   } </style> 

you use em values , line-height:

<style type="text/css">   .twolines   {      font-size: 1em;      line-height: 1em;      height: 2em;      overflow: hidden;   } </style> 

here's complete, working example:

<!doctype html>  <html> <head>   <style type="text/css">      .twolines      {         font-size: 1em;         background-color: silver;         line-height: 1em;         height: 2em;         overflow: hidden;      }      .twolines p      {         margin: 0;      }   </style> </head> <body>   <div class="twolines">      <p>long text continues</p>      <p>down road</p>      <p>into lane.</p>   </div> </body> </html>
