[jQuery] Re: Remove ellipsis from shortened title.

H3 tag, or DT?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that remove is not what you want. I think you'd need to do something like:

$('h3').each(function(){
    var t = $(this).text();
    $(this).text(t.replace(/…/''/));
});

Obviously, replace h3 with whatever makes the most sense for your page.

Hello,
I am using Simplepie and truncating fields that are longer than a
certain length. This process adds an ellipsis to the end, which I want
in most situations. However, for titles, I do not want the ellipsis to
show. I am trying to use jquery to remove the ellipsis character code
(&hellip;) from any H3 tag that has it, but am having a real problem
getting it done. Here is what I have been working from with no luck.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("dt &hellip;").remove();
});
</script>


Thanks as always!
