Selector :enabled no longer finds hidden elements

Selector :enabled no longer finds hidden elements


In a normal form POST, a form element with <item type="hidden"> will
send those hidden elements as request variables alongside visible
enabled variables.
In jQuery 1.3.1, filtering on $(":enabled", myForm) will only find
VISIBLE enabled elements, which is changed since jQuery 1.2.6. I don't
believe this change is correct. Is there an explanation for this
change? Can we revert it to the earlier behavior, or is there a good
alternative?
Thanks for your time,
Jacob
