Is this the simplest way to write this? This code evaluates if a textbox value exceeds 20 characters, and then displays the proper message (essentially truncating the string and then adding an ellipses to the end.)I've tried using a tertiary operator but doesn't seem to work with appending data to an element as it overwrites what was previously appended.)if (searchBoxValue.length > numCharToDisplay) {    searchDropDown.append('<div class=noresults><span>Searching ' +    searchBoxValue.trim().substring(0, numCharToDisplay) +    '... Found No Results</span></div>');} else {    searchDropDown.append('<div class=noresults><span>Searching ' +    searchBoxValue.trim() + ' Found No Results</span></div>');}
