IE8 and text nodes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. processing xml with 'mixed' nodes (text nodes), eg :

<stuff>
  <things>some value</things> 
  some text here
</stuff>


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- works fine in a 'proper browser' ;-)

in IE8 : causes "Object doesn't support this property or method"


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
browser version?

Latest, and IE8

Please provide any additional information below.

- tracked the issue to line 199 :

>>>
if ( result.__cnt > 1 && result.__text!=null && 
config.skipEmptyTextNodesForObj) {
   if(result.__text.trim()=="") {  // HERE IS THE PROBLEM
<<<

- ".trim()" doesn't exist on String.prototype in IE8 - suggest a new method, or 
a polyfill for IE8

Cheers

Chris
