Script to condense a line of text

[Chuck]

I have a form that pulls info from a database. My problem is with the
setup of the form if it pulls to much information it throws the whole
balance off and messes the table up.

I am looking for a script like that will cut off the line after a
certain amount of characters then possibly add a ... instead of the
rest of the text.

Thanks for any help or ideas.

You need to do this with your server-side script. There's no point
sending it to the client if you're not going to use is.

Anyway, a quick squiz at the JS docs would have given you a list of
string functions.
