<br />
So in your case : var myStr = myStr.substr(0,25);<br />
<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I need to truncate a link's text if it's longer than 25 characters, it needs to be a simple javascript solution.<br />
Server side, I've wrapped the link's anchor text in a &lt;span id=&quot;truncate&quot;&gt; if it's longer than 25 characters, so the javascript can do the rest.<br />
But what JS can I use for this? I've tried a few things I've found by Googling, but they seem over complex and none worked.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Javascript truncate string at 25 characters?

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
