ok, so im lookin at this thing and imlike ok even if you dont type a message or leave a name, it goes to the thank you message.

how would i be able to not make it go unless it has text?

i have name my input boxes, as  
name  
email  
body

i tried the  
if(name.text=""){  
name.text=“please fill in your name”;

im not sure if hat is even right lol
