Replace end of HTML text with multiple dots
I have the following allowance:
<h5>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">I am a very long title and I need to be shortened</a>
</h5>
How can I make it so that the text is h5
above a certain number of characters, I got rid of other characters and replaced them with "..."?

This should work. You have to render the inline element as a block.
Edit: just figured out that you want to add dots if the H5 exceeds the number of characters, not if it exceeds the width. I think you will need to use JS - check the other answer.
h5 {
display: block;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 12em;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
color: red; /* This needs to match the color of the anchor tag */
}
a:link {
color: red;
}
<h5>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">I am a very long title and I need to be shortened</a>
</h5>

You can do it:
var name = $('a').text();
if (name.length > 20) {
var shortname = name.substring(0, 20) + " ...";
$('a').replaceWith(shortname);
}

<h5 id="expansion">
<a id="myLink" href="javascript:void(0);">I am a very long title and I need to be shortened And Also I am a very long title and I need to be shortened</a>
</h5>
<script
src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
if($('#myLink').text().length > 20){
var linkText = $('#myLink').text();
$('#myLink').html(linkText.substring(0,20)+"...")
$('#myLink').on("click",function(){
console.log("linkText :: ",linkText);
$('#myLink').html(linkText);
});
}
</script>

If you want to use javascript, you can extend the object String
by prototyping:
String.prototype.limit = function(length) {
return this.length > length ? (this.substring(0, length) + '...') : this;
}
var str = 'qwertyuiop';
console.log(str.limit(5)); // qwert...

This one works
<h5>
<a class ="one" href="javascript:void(0);">I am a very long title and I need to be shortened</a>
</h5>
<style>
.one
{
white-space: nowrap;
overflow:hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
display:inline-block;
width : 100px;
}
</style>
set width according to your website design
