JS equiv of PHP's trim()?

[Jessica]

Is there a simple function to remove whitespace from the front and end of a string? Can't find one in the docs...

 

Edit: Today is my day for finding my own answers

 

function LTrim( value ) {

var re = /\s*((\S+\s*)*)/;
return value.replace(re, "$1");

}

// Removes ending whitespaces
function RTrim( value ) {

var re = /((\s*\S+)*)\s*/;
return value.replace(re, "$1");

}

// Removes leading and ending whitespaces
function trim( value ) {

return LTrim(RTrim(value));

}

Not sure about that regex you're using... I've always used /^\s+|\s+$/g
