The $.trim() function removes all newlines, spaces (including non-breaking spaces), and tabs from the beginning and end of the supplied string. If these whitespace characters occur in the middle of the string, they are preserved.
Example: Remove the two white spaces at the start and at the end of the string.

Demo:
Example: Remove the two white spaces at the start and at the end of the string.
