Spaces in front of form entry values

Question

I have a form that submits to itself. After submiting the
form, and if there is a user error, the form entry values are
brought back with a space in front of the value. For example the
first three digits of a ssn number bring back a space + 428.
Is there a way to keep the values from coming back with a
space in front?

I am not using many udf. Sample of form entry code below:
<input name="ssn1" type="text" id="ssn1" <cfif
isdefined("form.ssn1")> value = "<cfoutput>
#form.ssn1#</cfoutput>" <cfelse> value =
"<cfoutput>***</cfoutput>"</cfif> onKeyUp
="validotherssn(this);" size="3" maxlength="3" align="left"
onKeypress="if (event.keyCode < 48 || event.keyCode > 57 )
event.returnValue = false;" >
<input name="ssn2" type="text" id="ssn2" <cfif
isdefined("form.ssn2")>value = "<cfoutput>
#form.ssn2#</cfoutput>"<cfelse> value =
"<cfoutput>**</cfoutput>" </cfif>
size="2" maxlength="2" onkeyup="validotherssn(this);"
onKeypress="if (event.keyCode < 48 || event.keyCode > 57 )
event.returnValue = false;" >
<input name="ssn3" type="text" id="ssn3" <cfif
isdefined("form.ssn3")>value = "<cfoutput>
#form.ssn3#</cfoutput>" <cfelse> value =
"<cfoutput>****</cfoutput>"</cfif>
onKeyUp="validotherssn(this);" size="4" maxlength="4"
onKeypress="if (event.keyCode < 48 || event.keyCode > 57 )
event.returnValue = false;" > </td>
