Hi, I didn't mean to be rude, it's just a tip.
It is there on the docs page under 'Visibility Filters:', right after the left sidebar content ends. Invisible elements are the ones that have display:none or inputs of type 'hidden'. As Josh pointed out, you can use is() to check an existing object for the property, I thought you would figure that out (http:// docs.jquery.com/Traversing). I did some testing and it works for both toggle() and slideToggle(); when the element slides up it ends with display:none too. Make sure you are referencing the right object, a child of a hidden element will be considered ':visible' even if it's actually hidden by the parent. - ricardo On Oct 16, 6:43 pm, Jay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Oct 16, 3:53 pm, ricardobeat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Read the docs, read the docs. > > >http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors > > I did.
