Replace leading 0 on input field

Question

I am trying to replace the leading zero from a input field.

I am trying this but getting no luck

var regex = replace(/^0+/, "");

Answer 1

You don't have a string in your example. Try something like this:

var foo = '012345';
var bar = foo.replace(/^0+/, '');

Answer 2

Your regex is correct try using like this:

$ele.val(function(i, val) {
    return val.replace(/^0+/, "");//sets the value of each element to the original value without 0 padding
});

Answer 3

Something like this:

$("field_id").val($("field_id").val().replace(/^0+/, ""));

or this:

$("field_id").val(function(i, val){ return val.replace(/^0+/, ""); });
