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));
}

Does java script provides inbuilt trimming function, if not then what
is the solution.
I am trying to make a simple trim function but this doesnt works.
function tr(input){
var i;
var str;
for(i=0; i<input.length-1; i++){
if(text.charAt(i)==" "){
str+=""+text.charAt(i)
} return str
}}
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," ");

It works in IE and firefox.. no it doesn't.
How do we trim out or remove a part of a URL or path?
eg. http://www.mywebsite/folder/somefile.htm ----I want to trim
http://www.mywebsite/folder/ so All I have left is the file name.
<script language="JavaScript">
var pathtotrim = location.href;
document.write (pathtotrim);
</script>
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(/

I have a form in my homepage which takes some values. In that, a text box takes multiple values seperated by spaces. I have allowed only alphanumeric characters in that with the following code.

This works fine in FireFox:
$("#listname").val().trim()
But in safari it errors: $("#listname").val().trim() while this does work, $("#listname").val()
Why is that?
Is there a way of trimming the value before checking it so that a space for example would still be NULL "".
Code:
if(document.sendmail.emailsubject.value == '')
{
msg += "Subject cannot be left blank.
";
error = true;
}
Just wanted to share two handy RegEx expressions to strips leading and
trailing white-space from a string, and to replace all repeated spaces,
newlines and tabs with a single space.
* JavaScript example:
String.prototype.trim = function() {
// Strip leading and trailing white-space
return this.replace(/^s*|s*$/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
If there is a unlimit long textfield, the user can type free text. It means that the client can type

I tried this:

I have some javascript the works in conjunction with a flash video player. When a user selects a video in the Flash video list and new video is called and begins to play. Also, when that video is selected a function called "doOnMediaLoad()" is called and inside of that function I have put a call to another function that I wrote in the same script.function that is called when user selects flash player video list.
function doOnMediaLoad(e) {
vcomments_changed(e.id); //call to my function

I'm using the Google AJAX APIs, but some reason google.load works when run through normal javascript, but if I call the method from my jquery ready function it doesn't work. Code and output is below
page.html
<script type="text/javascript">
loadGoogleStuff();
function loaded() {
console.debug("in loaded function");
}
[Code]...
window.loadFirebugConsole is not a function If I comment out line 3 in code.js, the console debug runs okay, so the ready function is running okay. Even though there's a reference to Firebug, the same error occurs in Safari too. Nothing on the page loads.
I'm using jQuery 1.4 to hide a div (#cartPop) when the "close" link inside of it (#cartPop a) is clicked. Since I'm using animate() to fade the div out (opacity), I also have to use hide() to get rid of the div once it has faded out (otherwise the invisible div, which is on a higher z-index, blocks the elements on a lower z-index).
Code:
The problem is that the hide() function calls immediately without waiting for the animate() function to run. Even if I append a delay() function before hide() like so:
Code:
...it still doesn't wait.
I'm wanting a table cell click event to remove and replace the table it was clicked on, however I'm finding that as it's deleting the original table object the actual running event code is being replaced and the function is bailing.how I can call the delete/refresh function from outside the event's function scope?
