Question

Im trying to find all p tags with inline style attrs style=”text-align:center;” that contain just   and nothing else. And then removing the entire p for each found.

There are other p tags with the same attr that contain more than just nbsp which I want to keep, Im just stuck on finding the ones with a space only. Stupid wordpress tinyMCE editor, drives me nuts.

This is the base of what i was working on doing it with. just outputs all the text-align center p tags.

var p = $('.entry p[style="text-align: center;"]');
p.each(function() { 
  console.log(p);
});

Stupid little thing, i dont want to spend anymore time trying to figure out what im doing wrong. Here’s an example page that has the stuff im working with.

You can do this with the remove() function:

$('.entry p').each(function() {
    var $p = $(this),
        txt = $p.html();
    if (txt==' ') {
        $p.remove();   
    }
});

See http://jsfiddle.net/nrabinowitz/LJHyA/ for a working example. This assumes a pretty strict case in which the only thing in the p tag is the   entity.
