Leading and Trailing white space

Leading and Trailing white space


 
 The simplest and fastest rx-es that work are /^[\s\xA0]+/ and /[\s\xA0]+$/
 (thanks travis.hardiman)
 
 jquery-1.4.1.js (arround line#3859 ) has : rleadingWhitespace = /^\s+/, 
 which is perhaps a bug because IE does not cover \u00A0, as a white-space
 
 If I may suggest, introduction of :
 
  1.  rleadingWhitespace = /^[\s\xA0]+/,
  2.  rtrailingWhitespace = /[\s\xA0]+$ ,
 somewhere at the top of jQuery enclosure, where all the jQuery wide, var's are declared. 
 to be used wherever required/needed.
 
 This is also good for new jQuery.trim() proposed, which will be using them both if host does not support "".trim()
