How To trim() in Javascript

Good trim function

‘ hi there ‘.replace(/(^\s+|\s+$)/g, ”);

// eg: paste the following into your browser address bar and hit go …

javascript: alert(’>’ + ‘ hi there ‘.replace(/(^\s+|\s+$)/g, ”) + ‘<’);

// the /(^\s+|\s+$)/g basically says: matchstart followed by space or match end preceded by space globally. perl re is the best!

// rgds, e

form.id.value.replace(/\s/g, “”);
check this,
this works absolutely fine in javascript.

i m a tester for this application. take care dears.

Can also implement a trim function by extending the string type using a prototype. Have a look at https://whadiz.com/c/whatis.aspx/programming/javascript/javascript_trim

to know the java script books

i want to search the javascript questions

first of all i want to know whether javascript and jscript is same.. or any

To answer this.. Javascript and Jscript are the same meaning with the different versioning. Jscript is the version of Microsoft javascript. Some time the Document Object Model might differ from the Javascript. And Jscript works only on IE browser.

This might answer your question.

Thanks for the trim code.

Thanks.

function trim(str, chars) {
return ltrim(rtrim(str, chars), chars);
}

function ltrim(str, chars) {
chars = chars || “\\s”;
return str.replace(new RegExp(”^[" + chars + "]+”, “g”), “”);
}

function rtrim(str, chars) {
chars = chars || “\\s”;
return str.replace(new RegExp(”[" + chars + "]+$”, “g”), “”);
}

This should actually be as follows:

surname = surname.replace(/^\s+/, “”).replace(/\s+$/, “”);

this is my comment ok sorry

// This function is for stripping leading and trailing spacesfunction trim(str) { if (str != null) { var i; for (i=0; i=0; i–) { if (str.charAt(i)!=” “) { str=str.substring(0,i+1); break; } } if (str.charAt(0)==” “) { return “”; } else { return str; } }}
