Question

So I’m trying to trim any spaces BEFORE and AFTER the text input value…

Any ideas? Driving me nuts. I tried reading up on $.trim(). But can’t get it to work properly.

Code:

var campaign_values = {
        name : $.trim($('.nameField').val().toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "_")),
        // other variables...
};

Not sure what problem you were having with trim, but you should be able to use it like this:

var campaign_values = {
        name : $.trim($('.nameField').val()).toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "_"),
        // other variables...
};

Though in this case, I think it is clearer to use javascript trim()

var campaign_values = {
        name : $('.nameField').val().trim().toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "_"),
        // other variables...
};
