In your case, just take the code from [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/498970/how-to-trim-a-string-in-javascript/498995#498995) and have something like: `var value = document.getElementById("myInput").value; var trimmed = value.trim();` – Shadow Wizard Says No More War Aug 25 '11 at 10:33

1Maybe you did not express it correctly, but trimming the value returned by `getElementbyId` does not make sense. It returns a DOM element. – Felix Kling Aug 25 '11 at 10:41
