check if a value only contains html tags and no text
I have found this to be super useful when dealing with wysiwygs and conditionally showing text
// neat way to check if a value only contains html tags and no text
function containsContent(value) {
var hold = document.createElement("div");
hold.innerHTML = value;
return Boolean($.trim($(hold).text()).length);
}
