:hidden

Matches all elements that are hidden, or input elements of type "hidden".

Examples:
Shows all hidden divs and counts hidden inputs.

    // in some browsers :hidden includes head, title, script, etc... so limit to body
    $("span:first").text("Found " + $(":hidden", document.body).length + 
                         " hidden elements total.");
    $("div:hidden").show(3000);
    $("span:last").text("Found " + $("input:hidden").length + " hidden inputs.");
