Description
The trim function does not work correctly in IE 9.0.8112.16421. Please look in to this, there is nothing complicated. Just run the following code:
var myVar = 'AB012'; alert(myVar); myVar.trim(); code breaks here in IE alert(myVar);

Replying to dmethvin:
jQuery doesn't pollute the String object with a .trim() method. Please ask for help on a forum.
My code works fine in the following browsers: firefox, chrome, opera and safari. But breaks on the line that has myVar.trim() in internet explorer. Please explain to me how that is not a problem with the '.trim()' method?

We don't add a .trim() method to the String object. If you think you have found a bug in the IE9 String object, please file a bug with Microsoft. Or, ask for help on a forum.

Because <String>.trim() has nothing to do with jQuery.
$.trim(<String>) does, and it works awesomely in all browsers.

OK. Thank you guys. I will report to microsoft about the string. I find it interesting that the other browsers worked fine on this but explorer gave me problems. mikesherov thank you for the explaining, I changed my code & explorer is working nicely.

There is nothing surprising about this - IE has historically been broken, missing features and implementations.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
