I did. I use them frequently. There's no mention of those two functions on the selectors page In docs.jquery.com or the downloadable version. There's no detail on how they actually work on the effects page either. > > $('#element:visible') or $('#element:hidden') Tried it and it didn't work for me. This also requires javascript search the dom to find '#element'. Not terribly efficient if I already have a reference to the object in question. Wouldn't obj.attr('some_property_I_dont_know_about') or obj.get(0).some_property_I_dont_know_about be much faster?
