Programming Tips - javsScript: trim (remove whitespace characters from the start and end)

Date: 2011feb14 Language: javaScript Q. javsScript: trim (remove whitespace characters from the start and end) a string that works in all browsers A. Firefox has a trim() but IE doesn't so nice solution is to use trim() in jQuery like this:
str = $.trim(str);
This alone isn't reason enough to use jQuery in a project. Its pretty easy to write a trim using regular expressions.
