I want to remove null or empty elements from an array using jquery

var clientName= new Array();
clientName[0] = "jack";
clientName[1] = "";
clientName[2] = "john";
clientName[2] = "peter";

Please give some suggestions.

Answer 1

Use the jquery grep function, it'll identify array elements that pass criteria you define

arr = jQuery.grep(arr, function(n, i){
  return (n !== "" && n != null);
});

Answer 2

There is no need in jQuery, use plain JavaScript (it is faster!):

var newArray = [];
for (var i = 0; i < clientname.length; i++) {
    if (clientname[i] !== "" && clientname[i] !== null) {
        newArray.push(clientname[i]);
    }
}
console.log(newArray);

Another simple solution for modern browsers (using Array filter() method):

clientname.filter(function(value) {
    return value !== "" && value !== null;
});
