Sure, this is my (modified) code using one of the ruby helpers, but
it's pretty straight forward to convert to JS only...
text_field_with_auto_complete :search, :data, {},
:after_update_element => <<-JS
function (field, element) {
field.value = field.value.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/g, '')
}
JS
"field" is the text input element and "element" here is the selected LI.
If you put the code between quotes then just escape the various pieces
of the regex and you're good to go.

For now, I've used the afterUpdateElement callback to strip the
whitespace using the code you provided and it works great now.
Now I don't need to migrate the change to any future scriptaculous releases.
Thanks for the pointers.
