title: How to check for an empty Telerik Kendo editor content
body: <p>I have a simple form with a couple of dropdowns a multi-select and an editor.
  The dropdowns both have an initial item which has a text value of Please Select and a value of ''. On submission I have the following bit of Javascript/JQuery that checks that I have values in my dropdowns, multi-select and editor.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    var validFlag = true;
  
      var dropdownlist = $("#addNew_dTeam").data("kendoDropDownList");
      if (dropdownlist.value() == "") {
          validFlag = false;
          errorMsg = "&lt;li&gt;Select Team&lt;/li&gt;"
      }
  
      dropdownlist = $("#addNew_dType").data("kendoDropDownList");
      if (dropdownlist.value() == "") {
          validFlag = false;
          errorMsg += "&lt;li&gt;Select Entry Type&lt;/li&gt;"
      }
  
      var multiSelect = $("#msServers").data("kendoMultiSelect");
      if (multiSelect.value() == "") {
          validFlag = false;
          errorMsg += "&lt;li&gt;Add at least one Server or select N/A&lt;/li&gt;"
      }
  
      var editor = $("#diaryComments").data("kendoEditor");
      if (editor.value() == "") {
          validFlag = false;
          errorMsg += "&lt;li&gt;A comment is mandatory&lt;/li&gt;"
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code works fine for the dropdowns and multi-select, but the check for empty editor content does not work. My editor is empty yet the if (editor.value() == "") is not true.</p>
