jQuery ThreeDots: yayQuery Plugin of the Week!

yayquery-plugin-of-the-week I’ve been a fan of yayQuery since shortly after their initial podcast episode. Therefore, you can imagine my surprise and elation when I heard them give a shout-out to my ThreeDots plugin … almost falling down the stairs as I listened this past Friday while entering the subway here in NYC.

image ThreeDots is a customizable jQuery plugin for the smart truncation of text. It shortens identified text to fit specified dimensions (number of rows within a container) and appends the desired ellipsis style if truncation occurs. An ellipsis style can be anything from ‘‘ to ‘more‘ to ‘<b><a href=”link”>click here</a></b>‘, and any other simple text or HTML you desire.

Also, I am pleased to announce the latest update to ThreeDots.

Changes in Version 1.0.7

  • [FIXED] edge condition concerning super long words

To yayQuery and everyone else who has supported the jQuery ThreeDots Plugin through your compliments, feature requests, and issue identification… Thank You.

About Jeremy Horn

I have been involved in founding or managing a startup, non-stop, in one form or another, for the last 10 years. I have a background, as a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Science and winner of numerous graphics arts awards that has allowed me to be a unifying force of form and function, business and technology, art and process. Another driving force in creating of this blog, one very personal to me, is that when I started out, a great deal of what I hope to pull together and share via the Product Guy Blog, I would have loved to have known and have had access to when I began my journey in the world of start-ups, their products, and venture capital, and hope many of you will embrace these experiences.
