Question

The replace function I’m using works as I’ve tested it in the console but it does not work at all on blur. How can I fix that?

<script type="text/javascript">
    //Ensure spaces are not entered between tags
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        jQuery('#item_keywords').blur(function(){
            $(this).val().replace(/^\s+$/,"");
        });
    });
</script>

Answer 1

you have removed the spaces but u have not assigned them any where 🙂

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        jQuery('#item_keywords').unbind('blur').bind('blur',function(){
            $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/^\s+$/,""));
        });
    });
