This is not the right sub-board for that language; this sub-board is for Java,
not JavaScript.  As this is a JavaScript question, the best sub-board for this
question would be "Web Tech: HTML/CSS/JavaScript/frameworks".  There currently
isn't a sub-board on DeveloperNet specifically for Synchronet JavaScript, so
that might be the best place for now.

Anyway, there is a function I know of that could let you do that - it's part of
the standard JavaScript string object rather than part of Synchronet's
JavaScript library.  The string's replace() method, when used with a regular
expression, could do it.  For example, if you have a string variable someStr:
someStr = someStr.replace(/^ +/, "");

That replaces 1 or more spaces at the beginning of the string with an empty
string and returns a copy (in this case, we want to store the new string back
in the original variable).
