While browsing the USA Today website http://www.usatoday.com/ I noticed two
errors that kept repeately occuring in the JAVAscript console

Error: fxTrim is not defined
Source File: http://www.usatoday.com/_common/_scripts/usat.js
Line: 56

Error: arrCookies[intIndex].trim is not a function
Source File: http://www.usatoday.com/_common/_scripts/usat.js
Line: 322

I saw another USA Today error listed but that was for JAVA sniffing so hopefully
this isn't a dupe.
