I'm guessing this is what you want...

When the form is submitted, check if the value is empty and if so, send a value = empty.

If so, you could do the following with jQuery.

$('form').submit(function(){
    var input = $('#test').val();
    if(input == ''){
         $('#test').val('empty');
    }    
});

Click your cursor in the box and then hit enter to see the form submit the value.
