This simple little function will do just what you want...

function removeSpaces(strToTrim)
{
  return(strToTrim.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''));
}

It uses a regular expression (as the post from GUJUm0deL suggests) and expects to be called like:

myStringWithNoSpaces = removeSpaces(myStringWithSpaces);

Cheers,
Jeff

That should probably include trimming tabs and newlines from the ends of the string, too, shouldn't it?

I tried your function but it gives me error

document.addphone.retail_price.value = removeSpaces(document.addphone.retail_price);

or with out semi colon

document.addphone.retail_price.value = removeSpaces(document.addphone.retail_price)


saying object does not support the property..

This will work (assuming you have only the one form in your HTML document:

document.forms[0].addphone.retail_price.value = removeSpaces(document.forms[0].addphone.retail_price.value);

Cheers,
Jeff

Wait, is "addphone" the name of your form? If so, it should be this:

document.addphone.retail_price.value = removeSpaces(document.addphone.retail_price[red].value[/red]);

That's the second time you've caught me blatantly telling falsehoods in as many days it seems Adam! *sigh*

Is it? Sorry about that, Jeff. I meant no disrespect.
