I'm pretty new to JS and I can't really write it from scratch, I can just look at code, work out what it's doing and edit it to achieve the results I want. I have a file I'm looking at and need to limit the number of characters of a dynamic string.

Basically, there is a ShortDesciption that dynamically pulls in the name of a product. I need to limit this ShortDesciption to about 50 characters. Any help

Code:

+ product.ProductNumber + ".001?hei=120&wid=120&op_sharpen=1' height='120' width='120' border='0' alt='' />n"
            + "

" + product.ShortDescription + "
