The simplest way is to just remove any whitespace that follows a semicolon.
That's where most of the extra characters are, especially if you have more
than a level or two of indentation.  You can also remove spaces from around
these characters:
  = + - { } ( )

Those the the biggest culprits of white space in my JS, and should let you
reduce stuff a bunch.  Of course, if you still want readable code, then
you'll want to be a little less complete with removing line breaks and
stuff, but if you're donig your stripping as part of the publishing
procedure, then you can just kill it all.

Subject: Compressing _javascript_


  Does anyone know of a UDF or customtag that will compress _javascript_ to
cut
  down on file size? I know there are apps that do this, and I would like to
  include this functionality with some of our dynamically generated pages.

  Thanks!
