I just ripped it from Prototype for use in my jQuery based code.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. function truncate(text, length, truncation) {
  2. 	length = length || 30;
  3. 	truncation = (typeof(truncation) == 'undefined') ? '...' : truncation;
  4. 	return text.length > length ?
  5. 	text.slice(0, length - truncation.length) + truncation : String(text);
  6. }
  7.  
  8. truncate("Hello World",10,'...');
