Validate Wysiwyg field

I try to validate Wysiwyg field. It's hard to detec when it's empty because it auto add <p>&nbsp;</p> .How I can check,that Wysiwyg contain only

 

?

Field value can also looks like: 

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

I mean it can contain not only 1 tag

 

Solution

  • You could try with : content.replace(/<p>(:?&nbsp;)+<\/p>\n?/g, "").length === 0

    var content = "<p>&nbsp;</p>\n\
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n\
<p>&nbsp;</p>\n\
<p>&nbsp;</p>"

var isEmpty = content.replace(/<p>(:?&nbsp;)+<\/p>\n?/g, "").length === 0;

console.log(isEmpty)
