:-moz-only-whitespace

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Note: In Selectors Level 4 the :empty selector was changed to act like :-moz-only-whitespace, but no browsers currently support this yet.

The :-moz-only-whitespace CSS pseudo-class matches elements that have no child nodes at all, or only have empty text nodes or text nodes that have only whitespace in them.

Specifications
