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);
}
