How do I trim javascript date object returned as 01/26/2012 into 1/26/2012? 
it could be applicable for both month or days.
So 01/01/2012 should be trimmed as 1/1/2012.
Regular expression? jquery trim function? I am not sure how to go on this? 

```
var date=date.replace(/^0+/, ''); 

```

or

```
var trimmed = s.replace(/\b(0(?!\b))+/g, "") 

```
