Reduce character length
Briefly

To manage long input values for mobile and tablet displays, JavaScript can be utilized to reduce the character length shown in an input field. Specifically, if the input exceeds a set length, you can display the first few characters, followed by '...', and then the last few characters. While CSS can truncate text with overflow: ellipsis, it only works at the end of the text, making JavaScript a necessary solution for middle truncation while also ensuring user interactivity remains smooth.
You can reduce the character length of an input value and display it with '...' in the middle using JavaScript for better mobile and tablet views.
Using JS, dynamically adjust the input value to show only the necessary characters, ensuring users can still edit the value without losing their cursor position.
While CSS overflow: ellipsis can truncate text, it only does so at the end. For middle truncation, JavaScript manipulation is still necessary.
It's important to handle user interaction carefully when altering displayed values to maintain a good user experience and ensure usability.
