I'm trying in a number of ways to days but I have not been able to get this script to get the value of <h3> and return the text to it truncated.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function truncar() {

        var texto = document.getElementById("texto_noticia");
        var limite = 350;

        if (texto.length > limite) {
            limite--;
            last = texto.substr(limite - 1, 1);
            while (last != ' ' && limite > 0) {
                limite--;
                last = texto.substr(limite - 1, 1);
            }
            last = texto.substr(limite - 2, 1);
            if (last == ',' || last == ';' || last == ':') {
                texto = texto.substr(0, limite - 2) + ' [...]';
            } else if (last == '.' || last == '?' || last == '!') {
                texto = texto.substr(0, limite - 1);
            } else {
                texto = texto.substr(0, limite - 1) + ' [...]';
            }
        }

        alert(texto);
        return (texto);
    }
</script>

HTML:

<h3 id="texto_noticia" class="texto_noticia">
        <%# Eval("Noticia_Conteudo")%>
</h3>

The idea is to bring news content that is in the database through repeater , and then have JavaScript take the value and truncate the text.

The key is to use LastindexOf(' ') to find out where is the last space. It would be something like this in C #:

if (text.Length <= length) {
    return text;
}
if (length <= ellipsis.Length) {
    return ellipsis.Substring(0, length);
}
text = text.Substring(0, length - ellipsis.Length);
var position = text.LastIndexOf(' ');
position = position < 0 ? 0 : position;
return text.Substring(0, position).Trim(new[] { '.', ',', ';', ':', '!', '?' }) + ellipsis;

See running on dotNetFiddle and CodingGround .

If you want to do in JS is a simple algorithm conversion. JS has all methods used with identical semantics.

function trimSpecials(text, chars) {
    var result = '';
    for(var i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
        var isNormal = true;
        for(var j = 0; j < text.length; j++) {
            if (text[i] == chars[j]) {
                isNormal = false;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (isNormal) {
            result += text[i];
        }
    }
    return result;
}

function ellipsis(text, length, ellipsis) {
    ellipsis = typeof ellipsis !== 'undefined' ? ellipsis : '...';
    if (text.length <= length) {
        return text;
    }
    if (length <= ellipsis.length) {
        return ellipsis.substr(0, length);
    }
    text = text.substr(0, length - ellipsis.length);
    var position = text.lastIndexOf(' ');
    position = position < 0 ? 0 : position;
    return trimSpecials(text.substr(0, position), ['.', ',', ';', ':', '!', '?'])  + ellipsis;
}

var texto = "Este é um teste de texto longo que precisa ser truncado com reticências, sem cortar a palavra.";
for (var i = 0; i < texto.length + 1; ++i) {
    document.body.innerHTML += i + ' : ' + ellipsis(texto, i) + '<br>';
}
