How to check a dropdown contains any value in jquery
<p>How do i check whether a dropdown contains any value at all in jquery?</p>

<p>I have tried..</p>

<pre><code> if(($("#Attribute_1").find(":contains()").length &gt; 0){
        $("#Attribute_1").hide();   
    }
</code></pre>

<p>dropdown:  </p>

<pre><code>&lt;select dataid="18" id="Attribute_1" name="Product.Attribute_1"&gt;
&lt;option value=""&gt;&lt;/option&gt;
