trim function

[romepatel]

Hi,
I am newbie to the javascript
I need to validate the text box,
i want to enter the blank value in the text box,
so in order to remove white spaces, i had used trim function,
but it is not effected and it gives me javascript error in IE6,

Even the example of w3school is also not working in IE6.

Please help me out....!!!!

Thanks in advance

function trimStr(value)
{
	return value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '')
}

use native methods, if available.

function trimStr(value)
{
    if (value.trim) {
        return value.trim();
    }
    return value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
}
