removing spaces from a string

hi,
can anybody tell me a javascript regular expression which removes spaces in a string? I am catching a value in a javascript function which contains space.For example ' pavan kumar' or 'pavan kumar '
I need only to remove before or after space. The space between pavan and kumar should be as it is. Could anybody help me?

Thanks,
pavan

Create a new trim() method:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. String.prototype.trim = function() {
  2.     return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
  3. }
