");	var s = new String(str);	if (whitespace.indexOf(s.charAt(0)) != -1) {	    var pos=0, m = s.length;	    while (pos < m && whitespace.indexOf(s.charAt(pos)) != -1){			pos++;			s = s.substring(pos, m);		}	}	return s;}function Trim(s){	if (s=="undefined")		return "";	else{		var tmp;		tmp = RTrim(LTrim(s));		return tmp;	}}
