Question

I want to find if there are any text inside the div. how can I find it with jQuery?

Answer 1

You can use :empty selector along with .is() function to achieve what you want.

Try,

if($('#test').is(':empty')){
  //Its empty go ahead
}

Or

if($.trim($("#test").text()) === ""){
  //Its empty go ahead
}
