Restrict multiple entry of space

Question

I am having a text box . I have to restrict user from entering multiple space in the beginning of the text box.

eg:
1.abc d e (Should allow)

2.$$$abc(Should not allow.Here $ I have put to represent space character)

And also should also validate if the user is entering space character only(multiple times also)

Please help me how to resolve this using jquery.

$(document).ready(function(){ $('#name').on('keydown'function(e){ $('.msg').text(''); var $name = $(this).val(); if(e.keyCode==32 & $name[$name.length-1]==' ') { $('.msg').text('Multiple spaces not allowed!'); return false; } }); }) Replace the IDs of textbox and div to per yours and you're good to go.
