jQuery.smarttruncation - A Responsive Text Trucation Plugin

jQuery.smarttruncation truncates the text within the assigned element to fit and updates the string length while resizing the window.

The used technique is very responsive, since it calculates the width for each character in a pre-define set ahead of time. The generated sizes dictionary is cached and re-used if the plugin is called on an element with identical font properties.

Sometimes (in about 3-5% of all cases), due to characteristics of certain fonts, a string will still not fit. In this case the plugin will go the "common" way of chopping off on character at a time until the string fits.
