        //loop thought all the name field to copy to the empty field

            if ($(this).closest("tr").find(".optionSku").val() == "") {

                empty++;
                $(this).closest("tr").find(".optionSku").val($(this).val());

        });
    }

How to remove space from this.value using JQuery? I try to put if (jQuery.trim(this.value) == ""), but it cannot remove the inline space and removes the leading and trailing spaces only.

Solution 
  • this.value =  this.value.trim(); 
//you need to assign the trimmed value back to it.

    Note that trim may not be available in IE < 9 version. So you can use:

    this.value = $.trim(this.value);
