Question

So I have this div on my page:

<div id="valueTableBTS"></div>

This div gets filled with an html table dynamically. What I want to be able to do in JQuery is to check if this table has any empty cells, so I know if I need to keep calling my other method to fill it with any newly grabbed values.

How would I do that?

Answer 1

If I get you right, this should do it:

if( $('#valueTableBTS tbody').find('td:empty').length ) {
    // at least one <td> is empty
}

The :empty^help selector will find nodes which have no children (including text nodes).
