Question

In my html page I have tooltip. Some strings are not fitting correctly because of their length in the Tooltip image. But, I’mm not allowed to crop the string from server side.

I want to make the ToolTip to show first 8-12 chars and followed by dots.

Is there any inbuilt function available for it in javascript or jquery.

Thanks!

You can use string.substring(from, to): http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_substring.asp

Then just append "..."

var x = "a really long line of text";
var toolTipText = x.substring(0, 8) + "...";
