How to truncate the id fields title and name and show only 10 characters and next two characters must be .. if at all there is any character/

Answer 1

You can do something like this using .text():

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#title, #name").text(function(i, t) {
    return (t.length >= 12) ? t.substring(0, 10) + '..' : t;
  })
});

I’d check if it’s 12 or more characters because you’re adding 2.

Otherwise this: 12345678901 renders as 1234567890.. which is longer than what was there to begin with.
