Exactly.

I don't need it but some users may prefer a smaller limit, especially if we 
have alt-text showing the full name.  We may implement this later.

BTW, I think we should have
{code}
    return name.length() > 80? name.substring(0,76) + "..." : name;
{code}
in getAbbreviatedJobName(..).  If (76 < name.length() <= 80), we don't want to 
replace the last few characters with "...".

> Limit Job name on jobtracker.jsp to be 80 char long

> Sometimes a user submits a job with a very long job name. That made 
> jobtracker.jsp very hard to read.
> We should limit the size of the job name. User can see the full name when 
> they click on the job.
