@Michael Geary -- Thanks, now I get it. But the code is being output by a CMS, which has some whitespace that is output. So then truncate the whitespace? @FrenchilNLA -- It seemed to make sense, but this didn't work as long as I had that extra space. Once I took out the whitespace that Michael Geary spoke of, it worked. Is there a way to basically have the :empty selector work and ignore whitespace?
Thanks from both of you for responding, I really appreciate it.
