If your default value is line and condition required || ( logical or ) then change your code as below :

 var defaultValue="line";
  if ($("#ipt-content").val() == '' || $("#ipt-content").val() == defaultValue) {
        $("#ipt-content").addClass("ipt-error");
        valid = false;
        emptyFields = true;
    } else {
        $("#ipt-content").removeClass("ipt-error");
 }

&& is the logical AND. You want ||, the logical OR.
