JS / jQuery Question

[EQnoble]

I am making an addon and at this point and I am trying to figure out what would be the best way to achieve my needs and short of making another function to do this as a process I can't figure out what to do.

I believe I should be able to to just modify the the contents of .specificCenterWrapper once populated but all attempts at that fail in a way where the complete script still runs with no errors but the content of an element which I am trying to modify does not change

supposing this....

$('.specificContentWrapper').load(derivedUrl+ '.randWrapper .randContentWrapper:lt(2)');

What would be the best way to go about getting the text inside of .specificCenterWrapper truncated after X characters?

Never mind

solved my own issue by not bothering to snip off anything rather I just captured the first paragraph and adjusted to the layout to fit that usage.
