did you look at the working example on jsbin where the li is being
hidden?

Thanks Bohdan. Tried that first. No luck. As I said, it will work if
the parent is a div, but not if the parent of the div is an li.
Thanks again. Jack

Hi,
use .parent() instead of .parents()

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.

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
