How to remove white spaces?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,
how do you remove white space? I have tried the following but with no success:

[CODE]
var a = “he ll o o”;

function bla(){
if(a.match(/(s)/))alert(“Ok”); //works

a.replace(/(s)/,””); //does not work
}
[/CODE]

any help appreciated!

@mrhooJan 06.2012 — use the g flag to remove all matches:
[CODE]
function stripspaces(what){
return what.replace(/s+/g,'');
}
alert(stripspaces("he ll o o"));[/CODE]

@xelawhoJan 06.2012 — you have to redefine the string and also use the g modifier to make sure all white spaces are replaced:

[CODE]
var a = "he ll o o";

a=a.replace(/(s)/g,"")
alert(a)
[/CODE]
