Text.isElementContentWhitespace

The Text.isElementContentWhitespace read-only property returns a Boolean flag indicating whether or not the text node's content consists solely of whitespace.

Syntax

b = textnode.isElementContentWhitespace;

Example

In the example below, we create a node with mixed display and whitespace characters and the attribute is false.

var tn = document.createTextNode("Hello world");
tn.isElementContentWhitespace; /* evaluates to false */

For a node that is all whitespace characters, the isElementContentWhitespace evaluates to true.

var ws = document.createTextNode("  \t \r\n   ")
ws.isElementContentWhitespace; /* evaluates to true */
