[jQuery] Re: Hide row if empty

Assuming you can turn those id's into classes (where you have id="database")... you can do the following:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('ul .database').each(function() {
        if ($(this).text() == "") {
            $(this).parent().hide();
        }
    });
});

If you're working with server side data like that, couldn't you just write a conditional in whatever language you're using (PHP, CF, ASP, etc) to not display the <li> if no data?

Also, do you really mean to re-use "database" as an ID for multiple elements?  ID's ought to be unique.

Hi All,

If I had a list displaying data as follows:

<ul>
    <li id="item"><div>Label Here</div><div id="database">{content
here if available from database}</div></li>
    <li id="item"><div>Label Here</div><div id="database">{content
here if available from database}</div></li>
</ul>

Could I hide the whole <li id="item"></li> if their is nothing
available to show from the database in <div id="database"> ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Jack
