Count number of empty input boxes in table row


How do you calculate the number of input boxes with no value in a table row using jquery?



example:




<table id="table1">
<tr class="data" id="row5">
<td><input type="text" value="20%" /></td>
<td><input type="text" value="10%" /></td>
<td><input type="text" value="" /></td>
<td><input type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<table>

  1. Even that the OP claimed the answer as correct and working, this comes from the api doc:


    Some other elements, on the other hand, are empty (i.e. have no children) by definition: input, img, br, and hr, for example.


    So actually, it should be impossible to do it with the :empty selector.

    $('input:empty').length


    or to be more specific:

    $('#table1').find('input:empty').length


    even more specific:

    $('#table1').find('input[type=text]:empty').length

  2. You can do like:

    alert($('#table1 input:text[value == ""]').length);

  3. $('tr :text[value=""]').length


    or

    $('#table1 tr').each(function() { alert($(this).find(':text[value=""]').length) });


    quick demo.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
