I do not like jQuery that's why I wrote own implementation for trimming strings. There are two ways how to do it.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29  | //anonymous function
(function() {
  this.trim  = function($) { return $.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); };
  this.lTrim = function($) { return $.replace(/^\s+/, ''); };
  this.rTrim = function($) { return $.replace(/\s+$/, ''); };
})();
/*
alert("\"" + trim(" test string ") + "\"");
alert("\"" + lTrim(" test string ") + "\"");
alert("\"" + rTrim(" test string ") + "\"");
*/
//prototypes
String.prototype.trim  = function() {
  return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
}
String.prototype.lTrim = function() {
  return this.replace(/^\s+/, '');
}
String.prototype.rTrim = function() {
  return this.replace(/\s+$/, '');
}
/*
alert("\"" + " test string ".trim() + "\"");
alert("\"" + " test string ".lTrim() + "\"");
alert("\"" + " test string ".rTrim() + "\"");
*/
