I have a situation where I need to restrict users from entering space in beginning of a TextBox.
I am able to restrict space entry in TextBox. But not having any clues about not allowing at first position.

I am looking for a solution using JavaScript or jQuery. Any help would be appreciated.

keypress event solution:

$(input).on(keypress, function(e) {

    if (e.which === 32 && !this.value.length)

        e.preventDefault();

});
