Actually that doesn't work correctly in FF or Safari on OS X. It still has several empty strings filling up the array. They become more evident if you do this:

" one two three four ".split(/ /).reverse().join("|")
which gives you "||||four|three|two|||one||".

    Interesting... It works fine in EcmaScript. Or at least Jscript. :-)
    So how about

    " one two three four ".split(/ +/).reverse().join(" ")
    We're building the house of the future together.

      Yup, that one works. Boring, but it works ;)

      -stvn
      Trimming the string is still necessary in order to comply with the specs. Yes, very boring ;-)
      function reverseWords(str) { return str.replace(/^\s+/,'').replace(/\s+$/,'').split(/\s+/).revers +e().join(' '); };
