Description
A form element with <item type="hidden"> will POST with those hidden elements as request variables. Filtering on $(":enabled", theForm) will only find VISIBLE enabled elements, which is changed since jQuery 1.2.6. There is now no easy way to serialize a form in the same manner that the browser would submit it.

For info the discussion is here:

Result is that this behaviour is consistent with browser implementations of querySelectorAll()
The documentation needs to be updated at it is not clear.
The best way to get all enabled inputs including type=hidden is to use .not(':disabled')

Sizzle is doing this wrong. No current browsers implement this pseudo-selector the way it does. test case
In browsers that support qSA the results are correct. In browsers that do not support qSA (IE7), $(':enabled') returns 13 and $('input:enabled') returns 0. They should both return 1.

From the jQuery 1.3.1 source:
enabled: function(elem){ return elem.disabled === false && elem.type !== "hidden"; },So it looks intentional. If you have questions about the behavior, and if you want to inquire about reverting it to 1.2.6 behavior or for possible alternates, try emailing the jquery-dev mailing list.
