I can easily remove a tag that has no blank spaces...
$('h2:empty').remove();
But, when there is a space...
<h2> </h2>
...this does not work.
I tried
if ($('h2').html() == " "){
$('h2').remove();
}
Also no luck. Can someone help with this?
Line Height Property: The CSS line-height-property can be used to set the height of the line, whose value is set to normal, by default. By setting the height of the container at 0%, the white space can be removed.
strip(): The strip() method is the most commonly accepted method to remove whitespaces in Python. It is a Python built-in function that trims a string by removing all leading and trailing whitespaces.
You can match elements with only whitespace text with...
$('h2').filter(function() {
return ! $.trim($(this).text());
});
To remove these elements, call remove()
on the returned set.
jsFiddle.
Alternatively, without jQuery...
elements.filter(function(element) {
return ! (element.textContent || element.innerText).replace(/\s+/g, '');
});
If your elements
is a HTMLCollection
, NodeList
(or otherwise not an Array
), use Array.filter(elements, fn)
or turn elements
into an Array
with Array.prototype.slice.call(elements)
.
If you didn't have to support older browsers too, you could use return ! (element.textContent || element.innerText).trim()
.
To remove these, loop over the elements and use thisElement.parentNode.removeChild(thisElement)
.
jsFiddle.
Alternatively, with working with nodes only...
var containsWhitespace = function me(node) {
var childNodes = node.childNodes;
if (childNodes.length == 0) {
return true;
}
for (var i = 0, length = childNodes.length; i < length; i++) {
if (childNodes[i].nodeType == 1) {
return me(childNodes[i]);
} else if (childNodes[i].nodeType == 3) {
return ! childNodes[i].data.replace(/\s+/g, '');
}
}
}
elements.filter(containsWhitespace);
jsFiddle.
try this
$("h2").each(function(){
var self = $(this);
if ( self.html().trim().length == 0 )
{
self.remove();
}
});
