Description
If we try to do this:
$('li.selected').next('li:visible');
We get no results at all. Probably same for the others (.nextAll(), .nextUntil(), .prev(), .prevAll(), .prevUntil(), etc.)

- Keywords needsreview added
The approach you're using is for only the next item, and if that item doesnt match the selector, then no item can be returned. You'll need to use nextAll or prevAll to collect all the possible elements to be filtered with your selector.
Take a look at this edit to your jsfiddle:
You'll see that I've acheived the desired behavior by getting all, filtering and specifying which element to move to (with eq()) in the matched set.

If anyone needs to find a solution to the OP's dilemma, you can use a simple do while loop till you find the next visible element.
temp_pointer = jQuery('#current_element'); do {
temp_pointer = temp_pointer.prev();
} while (temp_pointer.is(':hidden'));
