Solution 2 - Jquery

No need for jQuery

JavaScript does have a native .trim() method.

var name = "    John Smith  ";
name = name.trim();

console.log(name); // "John Smith"

Example Here

>String.prototype.trim() > >The trim() method removes whitespace from both ends of a string. Whitespace in this context is all the whitespace characters (space, tab, no-break space, etc.) and all the line terminator characters (LF, CR, etc.).

Solution 3 - Jquery

or just use $.trim(str)
