javascript - How do I select an element that matches a .text() == "" condition? -

this want do:

<label class="myclass"></label> <!-- want hide --> <label class="myclass">some text here</label> <!-- don't hide -->  $('label.myclass').text() == "" ) {         $('this').hide();  } 

of course, $(this) points window, not label.myclass meets condition. how rewrite i'm selecting labels nt have text inside it?

var label = $('label.myclass').filter(function (index) {     if ($(this).text() == "") {         return $(this)     } })  console.log(label.attr('class')) console.log(label.text()) console.log(label.length) 

use .filter()
