Truncate html content using JQuery
by Nazar Leush - March 3rd, 2010
If you have small content area and need to show there a lot of text you may want to use dynamic content collapsing. This means user will see truncated part of content which can be expanded to full version with some button.
In that case you are able to use existing Truncate JQuery plugin.
Example usage:
$(".example").truncate( 120,{ chars: /\s/, trail: [ " ( <a href='#' class='truncate_show'>more</a> . . . )", "( . . . <a href='#' class='truncate_hide'>less</a> )" ] });
