JQuery s  empty selector selects all elements on the page that are empty in the sense that they have no child elements  including text nodes  not all inputs that have no text in them   Jquery  How to check if an input element has not been filled in   Here s the code stolen from the above thread       apply-form input   blur function              whenever you click off an input element                          if     this  val                              if it is blank            alert  empty                    This works because an empty string in JavaScript is a  falsy value   which basically means if you try to use it as a boolean value it will always evaluate to false  If you want  you can change the conditional to   this  val          for added clarity   D

You could do this      input   blur function        if   this  val                   alert  empty                 http   jsfiddle net jasongennaro Y5P9k 1   When the input has lost focus that is  blur    then check the value of the  input     If it is empty       then trigger the alert
