   I have a page.

   One of the default attributes of the page, is the 'Page' window where u enter your blog text.

   To display the content, I use the the_content() function in the follwoing code:
   

   if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post();
      echo '<div class="ui-tabs-panel">';
      the_content(); '<br />';
      echo '</div>';
   endwhile; endif;

   Question: How can I avoid displaying an empty 'ui-tabs-panel' if there is no test in the 'Page' attribute (empty content) ?

   Ups, spelling mistake.
   It should be 'if there is no text'

   hi,

   i don't have anywhere to test this at the moment but you might do this.
   if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post();
   if($post->content=="")
   {
   //whatever you want to be there if there is no content
   }
   else
   {
   echo('<div class="ui-tabs-panel">');
   the_content(); '
   ');
   echo('</div>');
   }
   endwhile; endif;

   Thanks jrm213, but that didn't work :(

   I tried looking in Function Reference to see if there is anything there I can use. But didn\t find anything.

   Where can I see what properties 'post' has?

   Anyone got any suggestions for this?

   I was looking for the answer to this too. You were on the right track but missing a word.

   It should be $post->post_content like this:

   <?php if($post->post_content=="") : ?>
   
   <!-- Do stuff with empty posts (or leave blank to skip empty posts) -->
   
   <?php else : ?>
   
   <!-- Do stuff to posts with content -->
   
   <?php endif; ?>
