}
//alert('Before:' + fixedTrim - 1);
if (fixedTrim.charAt(fixedTrim.length - 1) == " "
{
fixedTrim = fixedTrim.substring(0, fixedTrim.length - 1);
// alert('After:' + fixedTrim);
}
if(fixedTrim == '')
{
//alert('Please enter a color.');
}
else
{
nameditem = fixedTrim;
insert(nameditem);
//return fixedTrim;

function insert(nameditem)
{
if (document.frmTest.txt1.value != '' || ' ')
