You can create your own pseudo-class selector:
$.extend($.expr[ ":" ], {
trulyVisible : "$(a).is(':visible') && !$
(a).parents(':hidden').length"
});
Remy Sharp wrote about this a while back, and constructed the filter a
little bit differently, but it should have the same effect:

hello,
is there a selector or something to detect the visibility of a nested
element?
for example, i got the following:
<div style="display:none"><p>Invisible text</p></div>
'p:visible' will return the preceding p-tag, although it's not visible
at all, as it's parent isn't.
do i have to loop through all parents and check their 'display'
property or maybe there's a more elegant solution to this?
