Nit: Additional spaces needed in the arg passed the find() method. Might as well put each on their own line to make it easier to read:
| if ( '' === t.find('#title').val() && '' === t.find('#content').val() ) { | |
| if ( | |
| '' === t.find( '#title' ).val() && | |
| '' === t.find( '#content' ).val() | |
| ) { |

Summary
This PR fixes an issue in the WordPress dashboard Quick Draft widget where a draft could be submitted even when both the title and content fields were empty.
The update introduces validation to prevent submission unless at least one of these fields contains input, improving data integrity and user experience.
Problem
Currently, the Quick Draft form allows users to submit completely empty drafts. This results in unnecessary blank draft entries being created in the database, which can clutter the posts list and create confusion.
Similar inconsistencies with Quick Draft behavior have been observed historically, where drafts may be created without meaningful content due to missing validation.
