Hi All,
I have different input forms wrapped in divs, i.e.
<div >
<div>
<input .....
The outer div may be either hidden or visible. The question: how to find if the input element is inside of visible or hidden element?
I would need a syntax in JQuery for this.
Any ideas what is the easiest code for this?
Thanks

thank you , but it is not exactly what i need here is my current working code:
var me = mfrm.elements;
// loop through all input elements in form
for (var i=0; i < me.length; i++) {
var isVisible = $j(me[i]).parent().parent(
if(isVisible) { ........
The problem is that sometimes the input element has 3 parents-to-invisible, sometimes 2 or one. I wanted to get an elegant form how to find the 1st invisible parent (if any).
It was a bit early to celebrate. This is the actual html code (from the firebug)
<tr style="display: none;" class="child1">
<td class="titleCell">Childs Date Of Birth:</td>
<td colspan="1" class="fieldCell"><input class="inputbox" mosreq="1" .............
the jscript is supposed to loop through all input elements end filter those, that are not visible, i.e.
var me = mfrm.elements;
// loop through all input elements in form
for (var i=0; i < me.length; i++) {
var isVisible = $j(me[i]).parent().parent(
if(isVisible) { ........
However, it shows the isVisible as TRUE for the above input element. What is wrong here?

$("div:visible") will give you a list of all the div that are visible. So, if your div has a spific id like "test",
then:
$("div:visible").each( function() {
if( this.id=="test")
{
alert('hi');
}
} );
will alert hi for that div.
