JavaScript LTrim function?

Hi all,

Is there a function in JavaScript like the dBase ltrim function?  I have to 
make sure that there are no leading spaces placed into a field.

Thanks

Not that I am aware of.
You have to resort to Regular Expression.

Hi Dan

Oddly enough, my first choice came up blank. I went to w3schools.com,
which has a good JavaScript section, but it did not have anything for
trimming.
So I went to the Google and got thousands of choices to wade through.
This one has a good explanation, and a bunch of comments, etc.

Thanks Greg

For some reason the internet filter where I work is blocking me from getting 
to the site.  I will check it out at home tonight.

w3schools is always my first choice as well.
