Question

So let’s assume that I retrieve the page title using javascript, and the value is something like

FrontPage | Website.com

I need only the first word of this, so like FrontPage without any whitespace. I know how to do this with PHP, but how would I do it with javascript?

I need it for this snippet:

$(document).ready(function() {
     $("[title='"' + strippedtitle + '"']").addClass("valittu");
});

Try this,

$(document).ready(function() {
    var title1 = "FrontPage | Website.com";

    var strippedtitle = $.trim(title1.split('|')[0]);

    alert(strippedtitle);   
 });
