Check for Empty Elements

Do something for each empty element found:

$('*').each(function() {
         if ($(this).text() == "") {
                   //Do Something
         }
});

TRUE or FALSE if element is empty:

var emptyTest = $('#myDiv').is(:empty);

  1. This might be a bit more practical
    $(‘p,em,b,strong,span’).each(function() {
    if (jQuery.trim ($(this).text()) == “”) $(this).css(‘border’,'solid 1px red’);
    });
