You can use trim function for removing extra spaces...

hi deepa,

my requirement is field does not allows blank spaces at beginning and ending.

i done myself that field does not contains blank spaces its fine. but my requirement is field not allows blank spaces at beginning and ending.

But spaces allows between name(ex:ram chow).

You can write on submit client script like below.(Here I am validating short description field)

function onSubmit() {

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

    var sd = g_form.getValue('short_description');

  var last = sd.charAt(sd.length-1);

  var first = sd.charAt(0);

  //alert("1st:"+first +"//Last:"+last);

  if(first ==' '|| last == ' '){

  alert("text contains blank spaces in beginning or end");

  return false;

  }

}

Thanks,

Mihir
