Truncation is never a good idea, you will always get the truncation wrong in some cases.

Javascript it not totally an answer either, you will/might not be able to listen for a resize event.
I would investigate pure css stuff like that :

and use bootstrap responsive utilities:

http://getbootstrap.com/css/#responsive-utilities

If you really want responsive table with dynamism and javascript I would 
suggest doing it in separate package like mpld3 does for matplotlib, or cyrile rossant handson table.

Publishing scripts tag is always brittle and unreliable.
