Using jQuery, I'd like to remove the whitespace and line breaks between HTML tags.
var widgetHTML = '    <div id="widget">        <h2>Widget</h2><p>Hi.</p>        </div>';
Should be:
alert(widgetHTML); // <div id="widget"><h2>Widget</h2><p>Hi.</p></div>
I think the pattern I will need is:
>[\s]*<
Can this be accomplished without using regex?
