Removing Whitespaces from Beginning of a String (Left Trim), using Javascript
Use the Javascript code below:
// Pass the string as argument (value) to the function below.
function LeftTrim( value )
{
var re = /s*((S+s*)*)/;
return value.replace(re, "$1");
}
If you have JQuery enabled in your code, then you can also use Jquery's trim() function to trim whitespaces from both ends of a string.
var trimmed_str = $.trim( str_with_whitespaces );
