Motivation

HTML, CSS and Javascript do not support native crossbrowser functionality to truncate and ellips text. This library is a simple and easy way to provide that functionality for you and the code can easily be built on.

Include the following script into the head or body of your html document:

<script type="text/javascript" src="ellipsity.min.js"></script>

API Reference

You are set with:

Ellipsity.ellipsify(container);

License

The current license is MIT as it is the simplest and less restrictive license I could find on here at the time. If you feel like it is restricting you in anyway I am open to alternate licenses that are less restricting.
