The selector expression ":visible" don't work on IE but it works on firefox and chrome

I have a table with id=gvwRubros, when I apply the selector

$("#gvwRubros tr:visible")

in firefox and chrome work, but on IE select all the elements.

The way that I hide the element <tr> is in javascript code using the hide(); function of jquery.

I test on IE 6 and 7,firefox 3.5 , chrome 2.
