Answer 2

Do this like that :

var text = $('.dep_buttons').text();
if(text.length > 35) {
    var subText = text.substring(0,35) + '...';
    $('.dep_buttons').text(subText);
    $('.dep_buttons').mouseover(function () { 
        $('.dep_buttons').text(text);    
    });
    $(".dep_buttons").mouseout(function(){
        $('.dep_buttons').text(subText);
    });
}

Here is Demo

I used slice method of Javascript.

$(function(){
   var text = $('.dep_buttons').text();         
    var rem = text.slice(29, $('.dep_buttons').text().length);
text = text.replace(rem,"");
    var span = text + " <span class='toggleText'>"+rem+"</span>"            
$('.dep_buttons').text("").append(span);    
    $('.dep_buttons').mouseenter(function () {             
      $(this).find(".toggleText").stop().animate({opacity:1},500);
   });
   $(".dep_buttons").mouseleave(function(){             
      $(this).find(".toggleText").stop().animate({opacity:0},500);
    });
})
