:ishidden selector on IE8 (IE8 standards)

[Robbert]

The :ishidden selector doesn't seem to recognize a hidden (class with external stylesheet display: none) table row.

Valid xhtml strict document.

code snippet:

if ($(nextElement).is(":hidden")) {

try { $(nextElement).css("display","table-row"); } catch(err) {

ie6 wants it old skool $(nextElement).css("display","block");

}

}

This has actually already been fixed in the jQuery nightlies.
