how to ignore spaces?

A tester found that if you simply put a space in a field that's being validated, it validates... how can we ignore spaces if that's all there is? Spaces SHOULD be allowed within other content... i.e.
"my name" is ok, " " is not.

Here's a fix

I managed to add a fix to the script to account for this... here it is if anyone wants it. SoftComplex, feel free to add it:

I added these lines under the "check length" section:

// check to see if it's all white space
else if (String(this.a_fields[n_key]['v']).length > 0) {
var space = ' ';
// assume that string is all spaces
var spflag = 1;
// loop through string and stop if anything other than white space found
for (var i=0; i < String(this.a_fields[n_key]['v']).length; i++) {
if (space.indexOf(String(this.a_fields[n_key]['v']).charAt(i)) == -1) {
spflag = 0;
break;
}
}
if (spflag != 0) {
this.a_fields[n_key].n_error = 1;
n_errors_count++;
}
}

ok, we improved the code so all whitespaces at the beginning and at the end of the values are removed. With regular expressions whole thing is in one line:

this.a_fields[n_key]['v'] = s_value.replace(/(^\s+)|(\s+$)/g, '');

available since v1.2
