How Do I Trim Whitespace - LTRIM/RTRIM/TRIM?
Apr 23, 2007
Using Regular Expressions (JavaScript 1.2/JScript 4+) :
String.prototype.lTrim =
function()
{
return this.replace(/^s+/,'');
}
String.prototype.lTrim =
function()
{
return this.replace(/s+$/,'');
}
String.prototype.trim =
function()
{
return this.replace(/^s+|s+$/g,'');
}
or for all versions (trims characters ASCII<32 not true
"whitespace"):
function LTrim(str) {
for (var k=0; k<str.length && str.charAt(k)<=" " ; k++) ;
return str.substring(k,str.length);
}
function RTrim(str) {
for (var j=str.length-1; j>=0 && str.charAt(j)<=" " ; j--) ;
return str.substring(0,j+1);
}
function Trim(str) {
return LTrim(RTrim(str));
}

for all your javascript trimming needs...
function trim(inputString) {
if (typeof inputString != "string") return inputString;
return inputString
//clear leading spaces and empty lines
.replace(/^(s|
|
)*((.|
|
)*?)(s|
|
)*$/g,"$2")
//take consecutive spaces down to one
.replace(/(s(?!(
|
))(?=s))+/g,"")
//take consecutive lines breaks down to one
.replace(/(
|
)+/g,"
")
//remove spacing at the beginning of a line
.replace(/(
|
)s/g,"$1")
//remove spacing at the end of a line
.replace(/s(
|
)/g,"$1");
}

I'm working with SageCRM. When SageCRM outputs the company address, I kid you not, it outputs the value and then a crap ton of HTML non-breaking spaces, a break tag and then repeat for the other address lines.My client added a button to the page via the customization function that links over to MapQuest. But, all those non-breaking spaces mess up the URL.I'm trying to fix it, but I'm having some trouble and thought I'd throw it out to you all.
Code:
// Ninja'd this from somewhere to trim whitespace.
function trim(stringToTrim) {
[code]....

I have the following script that converts line breaks from plain text into HTML formatted paragraphs. It takes plain text from one text area field and outputs the new formatted text into another text area field.
function convertText(){
var noBreaks = document.getElementById("oldText").value;
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(/

This works fine in FireFox:
$("#listname").val().trim()
But in safari it errors: $("#listname").val().trim() while this does work, $("#listname").val()
Why is that?

My trim() function seems to halt JavaScript execution in Chrome.
Code:
function trim(s) {
s = s.replace(/(^s*)|(s*$)/gi,"");
s = s.replace(/[ ]{2,}/gi," ");
[code]...
It works in IE and firefox.. no it doesn't.

Is there a way of trimming the value before checking it so that a space for example would still be NULL "".
Code:
if(document.sendmail.emailsubject.value == '')
{
msg += "Subject cannot be left blank.
";
error = true;
}

Just wanted to share two handy RegEx expressions to strips leading and
trailing white-space from a string, and to replace all repeated spaces,
newlines and tabs with a single space.
* JavaScript example:
String.prototype.trim = function() {
// Strip leading and trailing white-space
return this.replace(/^s*|s*$/g, "");
}
String.prototype.normalize_space = function() {
// Replace repeated spaces, newlines and tabs with a single space
return this.replace(/^s*|s(?=s)|s*$/g, "");
}
" one two three
".trim(); // --> "one two three"
" one two three
".normalize_space(); // --> "one two three"

Picture a table where each cell row is 50px tall, with 3 to 5 columns of varying length. For example: thumbnail, name, description, price, options. The thumbnail will always be the same size, but for efficiency of space, nothing else is.
My question is one of overflow. With long descriptions, overflow:hidden will keep things clean. But the most aesthetic presentation would be todynamically truncate the description with ellipses (...) somewhere just before the text runs off the end of the cell (like the ubiquitous [More...] feature, but first filling the cell as much as possible).
This is a typographically desirable feature, and I can come pretty close with php

how to trim strings in Javascript with variable lengths? For example:
My Option 1 (+$10.00)
Short Option (+$5.00)
Really long Option
I only want to trim off the (+$10.00) on My Option 1 and the (+$5.00) on Short Option. No trim necessary on Really long Option. When I'm done I want to be left with:
My Option 1
Short Option
Really long Option

I need help with substring or trim function in javascript. Find below my code. Selection holds the value Select State, and length of the string is 14. I need to equate the Selection value to string "Select State" and execute alert message.
function selected_item() {
if (Selection=="Select State")
alert("Select the State");[code]....
I tried this:
var state=Selection.substring(0,11); and then string would be equated to state variable. But it is not working.

I'm trying to figure out reading XML into Javascript, and, frustrating as that is alone, what really boggles my mind is Mozilla's default NOT to ignore whitespace! I realize this may have its applications, but for the sake of my sanity (not to mention being cross-browser), I NEED to parse my XML document WITHOUT whitespace!
All I want to do essentially, is read in an XML document that has, let's say, 100 or so <character> nodes off the root, and output their text values into the HTML. Not so hard right? But if I make an XML document that I can actually READ (so that I don't go insane), I'm going to wind up with much more than 100 nodes thanks to reading in the whitespace... what can I do about this?
I've seen custom functions that will remove the whitespace nodes for me, but certainly there's an easier way to do this?!?

I'm trying to access the source of an HTML page with as few alterations
from the actual source (as in, that seen from the View Source option)
as I can. The method document.documentElement.innerHTML returns the
HTML source, but adds HEAD and other elements if they are absent from
the source, and takes out whitespace (i.e., line feeds, carriage
returns and tabs) within tags and between tags. The follow function:
function xhr() {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open("GET","test-page.html",true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState==4) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
}
xhr.send(null)
}
doesn't add or alter any tags that are absent in the source, and does
not take out line feeds within tags; it does, however, still take out
all non-line-feed whitespace within tags and all whitespace in general
between tags.
It seems that preserving whitespace is all that I need, but I haven't
found a way to do that through my searches. So is there any way to get
the unaltered HTML source of a page without innerHTML or applets, like
a better version of the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText method?

I am toying around with this great plugin and want to use a css class with a whitespace in it. Can I do this somehow? If I use "error message" as errorClass it wont remove the error messages. But if I use "error-messages" it works, why is that?
