How do i check if a textarea contains nothing?

I tryed with this code

if(document.getElementById("field").value ==null)
{
    alert("debug");
    document.getElementById("field").style.display ="none";
 }

But it doesnt do what i expect. I expect that it should appear a messagebox "debug" and that the textarea is not shown.

How can i fix that issue?
