How can I check, if element does have any text? I have found some code, but it does not work. I need to do something like this: If element has text, write this, if not, write something else.

    if (!$('.flexslider .item:first p').text().trim().length) {
        var text = $(this).text();
        $('.text-anim-sphone').html(text);
    }
    else {
        $('.text-anim-sphone').html('welcome');
    }
