public class FullTrimTag

extends javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport

This class is a custom tag that renders the JWPFullTrim() Javascript function which can be called to trim whitespace from both ends of a string.

This tag uses the following attributes:

renderScriptTags - true/false - When set to true, the Javascript will be rendered inside a <script> </script> tag pair. When set to false, this will not be done and it is expected that the <jstags:fullTrim/> tag appears inside a <script> </script> tag pair. If this attribute is not present, the script tags WILL be rendered.

It renders the following Javascript:

function JWPFullTrim(jwpft_inString) {
if (jwpft_inString == null || jwpft_inString == "") {
return "";
}
return jwpft_inString.replace(/^\\s*(.\*\S|.*)\\s*$/, '$1');
}

Usage example:

myString = JWPFullTrim(" My String ");
This results in myString being equal to "My String" (notice there is no space in the front or back of the string).
