Purpose:
Gives the user the ability to remove any whitespace from the beginning and end of a string.  This serves as a substitute for function for browser without this trim function.

A string without whitespace at the beginning and the end of the string.

Example #1:
The example below will remove all whitespace from the beginning of the end of the string.

var msg = "\t \r\n\nHello World!!! "; var newMsg = msg.trim(); alert("The original message:\n\"" + msg + "\"\n\nThe new message:\n\"" + newMsg + "\"");
