使用jquery如果DIV的内容为空，我怎么能删除它？

Question

I'm looking for a way to remove the following empty div using jquery.

The following div is output sometimes without content inside it. For display reasons I need to remove it when it's empty.

<div class="field-group-format group_call_to_action_aside div group-call-to-action-aside box yellow speed-fast effect-none"></div>

Thoughts?

I've been trying the following and variations of it, but have't had any luck.

Answer 1

This works, assuming you don't have other div.group_call_to_action_aside that you want to keep:

if ($('.group_call_to_action_aside').is(':empty')) { 
    $('.group_call_to_action_aside').remove();
} 

Note: I've styled the div , so you can see a brief flash of it before the js takes effect. but you won't see this when you do it because the div is empty. ;-)

EDIT

Yes, as per your commment, you can also do this

$('.group_call_to_action_aside:empty').remove();

Answer 2

To remove the element with id equal to removeme :

$("#removeme").remove();

To remove the element with id equal to removeme only if it is empty:

$("#removeme:empty").remove();

To remove all empty <div> s:

$("div:empty").remove();

If it's not empty, but has whitespace:

if($.trim($("#removeme").text()) == "") {
  $("#removeme").remove();
}
