Use the regular expression

/^\ //

to remove the space at the beginning of the line.

use the trim() function

var text = "   hel  lo ";
alert(text.trim());

Try:

$("#idOfTextboxHere").focusout(function(){
    $(this).val( $.trim($(this).val()) );
});

When the user clicks away, it will trim the beginning and end of the textbox.
