input:hidden bug (?)

[maxbnet]

jQuery("input:hidden") fails if input has these css properties (border & display)

input.inputbug {

display:block; border:1px solid #fff;

}

That's not a bug. How could jQuery determine if you expect:

• ":hidden" == ":not(:visible)" or
  
• ":hidden" == "[type=hidden]" ?
  

By definition it's the first. Just ​take a look at the docs. There is ​no such form-selector atm., sorry.

Abro, both types of elements are considered to be hidden. However, this case is a bit too bizarre for my taste. Don't style hidden inputs!

There are several checks/filters for :hidden elsewhere in jQuery fx; if this is fixed it may have other impacts.
