Trimming whitespace from the END of a string only, with jQuery

Question

I know of the jQuery $.trim() function, but what I need is a way to trim whitespace from the END of a string only, and NOT the beginning too.

So

  str =\         


        

Answer 1

For some browsers you can use: str = str.trimRight(); or str = str.trimEnd();

If you want total browser coverage, use regex.
