Setting up Text entry field so the user cannot only type space

I've set up a text entry accepting user comments. I even have a layer preventing them from continuing if they try to skip it. However, I noticed that if they just type " " (space), it counts as a contribution and they can proceed. How would I set things up so typing just space is not allowed? No issues with space in general, as long as it is accompanied by actual text. Thank you!

    Adding onto Phil's great answer, use a regular expression to exclude spaces before counting characters

  • You could set up javascript to count the characters, this will still need trust as they can still type nonsense.

    and that is still not meaningful.
