I want to hide my bootstrap alert if it is empty. It hide correctly when page load, problem is when I do a push who insert data into div, it don´t show alert and it keep with display = none

HTML

 <div id="a1" class="alert alert-success">
                <div id="discussion"></div>
            </div>

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
    hideAlert("a1");

    function hideAlert(id) {
        var text = $('#' + id + '#discussion').text();
        console.log(text.length);
        if (text.length <= 0)
            $('#' + id).hide();
    }
</script>

Edit

I try it using input event , it occurs same. It hide but it don't show when get value

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $('#discussion').keyup(function () {

        // If value is not empty
        if ($(this).val().length == 0) {
            // Hide the element
            $('#a1').hide();
        } else {
            // Otherwise show it
            $('#a1').show();
        }
    }).keyup();


</script>

• You need to remove the display:none class from alert when there is text inside. – Aslam Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 6:13
• @hunzaboy: Well, yeah, that's exactly what they said they're trying to do. Why are you repeating the question? – BoltClock Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 6:16

Your selector must be #a1 #discussion no #a1#discussion.So:

Change :

$('#' + id + '#discussion')

To:

$('#' + id + ' #discussion')
              ^-----------------

hideAlert("a1");
function hideAlert(id) {
    var text = $('#' + id + ' #discussion').text();
    console.log(text.length);
    if (text.length <= 0)
        $('#' + id).hide();
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn./bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="a1" class="alert alert-success">
    <div id="discussion"></div>
</div>

After Update your question:

setInterval(function(){ hideAlert("a1"); }, 3000);

function hideAlert(id) {
    var text = $('#' + id + ' #discussion').text();
    if (text.length <= 0)
    $('#' + id).hide();
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn./bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="a1" class="alert alert-success">
    <div id="discussion" contenteditable="true">Some Text...</div>
</div>

Note : Remove text in div and see result

Why not try using the :empty css pseudo-class like this:

CSS

#discussion{
    display: block;
}     
#discussion:empty{
    display: none;
}

HTML

<div id="discussion" class="alert alert-success"></div>

Note: The beginning and closing tags should be next to each other for the pseudo-class to work (like the beginning and closing div tags next to each other without any line breaks or space in the html shown above).
