you can this:

$('ul.test li a').each(function() {     var text = $(this).text();     if(text.length > 6) {         $(this).text(text.substring(0, 4) + '..')     } });

fiddle demo

if want use pure css can use text-overflow: ellipsis property:

ul.test li {     width: 45px;     display: block;     overflow: hidden;     white-space: nowrap;     text-overflow: ellipsis; }

however, cannot control number of limited characters before putting ellipsis using approach.
