Question

So basically I’m trying to get the initial value of the text before being truncated and stuffing it into the rel attribute, while leaving the truncated text truncated.

I can’t seem to figure out how to get the function to return the value of the text before truncating it!

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Why not just grab the text and stuff it into the rel before you do anything with it?

var text = el.html();
el.attr('rel', text);
// etc
