Hey Andy, Sorry about that. This was an updated release of an older version (which had the description of what the plugin did). If you view the source, you can see instructions on how to use the plugin. It is not a newsreader - it is for string manipulation. I will probably update the demo to better explain that.
As an aside, this will need a 2.1 update soon enough. Currently, if you were to select a parent element, and the string within that element you wanted to truncate had HTML (child elements), you would loose that formatting. For instance: <p> <b>This is my string to truncate.</b> </p> If you choose the paragraph tag as the element to parse the text, it will grab that (sans bold tag), and then append it back to the paragraph tag without the bold. I need to rethink how to handle this scenario. Any suggestions? Brian On Apr 5, 9:11 am, "Andy Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What's it do?
