Limit characters displayed in span

Question

Is there some sort of way within HTML or CSS to limit the characters displayed with a span? I use a repeater that displays these info boxes and I want to limit the character

Answer 1

use js:

 $(document).ready(function ()
   { $(".class-span").each(function(i){
        var len=$(this).text().trim().length;
        if(len>100)
        {
            $(this).text($(this).text().substr(0,100)+'...');
        }
    });
 });
