fix for how to remove remove white spaces using javascript/jquery | issues with trim()

How to remove white spaces from the string seems to be a big question. Whether we have global javascript in-built functions that we can use or do we need to write our own custom methods.

Then I thought of going through Jquery way of using trim() method but then finally end up issues in IE7 ( Internet explorer).

var stringValue= ” suresh web developer bangalore”;

You see white spaces in a variable to get rid of it I tried using
Jquery
$(stringValue).trim(); /*issues with IE7*/

So then finally thought of using regular expression

$(stringValue).replace(/(^[\s\xA0]+|[\s\xA0]+$)/g, ”);

Worked like a charm.

Hope this will help.
