title: How can I the limit inner text of a div to 175 characters?
body: <p>I have a div area that has an arbitrary number of characters. I want to limit the amount of characters that show up in there to 175 characters. I mostly found examples on how to do this for an input text box or text area, but not a div. How can I do it?</p>
  <p>This is my code I am trying to limit to 175 characters:</p>
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class=&quot;some-area&quot;&gt;
  Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
