Thanks Joules left a comment to let me konw that the language attribute for the script tag is deprecated (the article trim a string from white space by JavaScript function ).I wrote another javascript function for trim a string from white space at the front.(It will need some change for RTrim and Trim),I don’t konw there is faster way than below,if you know tell me pls. 
- function LTrim(str) {
- var i;
- var len = str.length;
- for( i=0; i<len; i++ )
- {
- if( str.charCodeAt(i) == 160 )
- {
- str = str.substring(1, str.length );
- i--;
- len--;
- }
- else
- {
- break;
- }
- }
- return str;
- }
comment:160 is the char code for white space.

Try this…
function trim(value) {
return value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ”);
}
hey,Nate
Thanks for your function.I tried it at IE6.0 and FireFox2.0
The result is:
FF2 is OK but can not be used with IE6…
There was no error but the white space can not be trimmed

Your blog software messed up the code. The second while loop uses the postfix decrement operator, and the quotes should be either the single ASCII quote or the double ASCII quote.
