I am having a bit of trouble with this one. Thanks for your help. I
could get it working if the parent is a <div> but not if it's an <li>.
Here's my html:
<ul class="member-table">
<li>
<div><strong>Why I am involved:</strong></div>
<div class="answer">{tag_why are you involved?}</div>
</li>
<li>
<div><strong>Current projects & activities:</strong></div>
<div class="answer">{tag_current projects}</div>
</li>
<li>
<div><strong>My relevant experience:</strong></div>
<div class="answer">{tag_relevant experience}</div>
</li>
</ul>
Here's my jQuery:
$('.answer').each(function() {
if ($(this).text() == "") {
$(this).parents().hide();
}
});
You said to add ('ul .answer') but this does not seem to make any
difference. I really appreciate your help on this.
