Trim for jQuery
27 Sep 2012trim() is another function I miss in jQuery / Javascript, the below function was found in a random stackoverflow thread
but works great
This trims whitespace from the start and end of a string
(function () {
if (!String.prototype.trim) {
/**
* Trim whitespace from each end of a String
* @returns {String} the original String with whitespace removed from each end
* @example
* ' foo bar '.trim(); //'foo bar'
*/
String.prototype.trim = function trim() {
return this.toString().replace(/^([\s]*)|([\s]*)$/g, '');
};
}
})();
