at first glance, you may be expecting the :hidden selector to work differently than it actually does:
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/hidden the original implementation, before 1.3.2, checked for either display:none or visibility:hidden, whereas the new implementation selects elements "...if it or its parents consumes no space in document. CSS visibility isn't taken into account." so, my first question would be, which version of jQuery are you using? anything before 1.3.2 won't even return hidden inputs with the ":hidden" selector. can you post a test page?
