String.prototype.trim = String.prototype.trim || function() {
  return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/,'');

I'm not sure which version of Spidermonkey Synchronet now uses, but it's been
in there for several years now.. it was added to JS as part of ECMAScript 5.
You can probably snag the ES5 SHIMS, and load that at the top of a common
include in your login/logon script.
