Test if element with an input type text exists jquery

I would like to test if an element exists but i cannot do it with $('#id')length > 0 because i am testing an input element which might not contain any characters and then it results in 0 even if it exists...

How can i test if this element exists??

Do it like this, Demo on JsFiddle

With jQuery

$('#id').length > 0

With Javascript

if(document.getElementById('ID') != null)
{
    alert("Element found");
}

length property is not returning the characters in the element. but the number of elements in the jQuery object. So you should be good to use length property in your case.
