jQuery check if any of selected inputs is empty

Question

How in a simples way would I test, if any of selected inputs is empty?

I get my inputs this way:

$myinputs = $('.inputstotest');

and would test single input with:

if ( $.trim($this.val()) == '' )

but how to test a group and return true if all are not empty or false if any (at least one) is empty?

Answer 1

I'd suggest:

var someEmpty = $('.inputstotest').filter(function(){
    return $.trim(this.value).length === 0;
}).length > 0;

With the above someEmpty will be a Boolean, true if there are inputs of that class-name with a trimmed-value equal to zero, false if no inputs of that class-name have a trimmed-value of a length equal to zero.
