[Javascript] How do I refer to whitespace characters?

[javascript@xxxxxxxxxx (Dan Costea)]

"trim"?  What is trim? who's method? I know the SQL trim (that is clearing
just the spaces from the beginning of the string, not all white spaces), but
not in js...

Can you give us a working example?


Dan.
