Question

I am writing a client-side validation function for CustomValidator and I need to check length of entered string. But before, to counteract cheaters a little, I want to remove all leading and trailing spaces from the string. What is the easiest way to do it in this scenario?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The easiest way is to call the ValidatorTrim(value) javascript function on your page. This function comes from the javascript that every asp.net validator includes when added to a page.

But i don’t think its a documented feature, so you cant rely on it being available in future versions of the validators. So i would prolly go through jQuery, or add your own function as J Cooper points out.
