IE $.trim (non-breaking spaces)

[anonymous]

$.trim in IE, do not remove "non-breaking spaces"

<span id="example">&nbsp;Hello <b>World</b> </span>

<script type="text/javascript">
	var text = $("#example").text();

	text = $.trim(text);

	document.write(text.length);
</script>

Output in IE: Hello World 12
Others browsers: Hello World 11

Confirmed

There exists a unit test for this, but it uses this:

	var nbsp = String.fromCharCode(160);

needless to say, IE must represent   differently.

I can't reproduce this in IE8. IE7?

The assumption that leading/trailing spaces may be at fault may be incorrect. Can you create a test case that shows the actual text retrieved? This may be related to #3144 and not a problem with $.trim().

OK, this example is almost exactly what was reported, and it's working in IE6/7/8 for me:
