I think it's a feature. It would be a huge drop in performance if all
parents had to be checked for visibility every time that selector was used.
You could probably write a little function to check all the parents if you
need that.

Subject: [jQuery] :visible selector
Hi there!
At first: congrats for this really great library!
But now I have a problem... I have the following situation:
<div style="display:none;">
<span class="test">test1</span>
</div>
<span class="test">test2</span>
When I now use $("span.test:visible") I'll get both span elements
although only the second one is visible... Is that a bug or a feature?
It seems that the hierarchy is not checked...
Regards, Stefan
