Answer 1

I just add the onfocusout event and its automatically Trim all the form fields and also if the user will enter only spaces (white-spaces) it will remove them and will show the field required message:

onfocusout: function (element, event) {

    //Get Objects
    $element = $(element);

    //Remove whitespace
    if ( $element.is(':input') && !$element.is(':password') ) {
        $element.val($.trim($element.val()));
    }
},

Its working also when the user submit the form directly because when he click the submit button the event is triggered.
