Jquery count number of hidden elements within div

How can I count the number of items in div that are hidden?

Thanks in advance

From stackoverflow

• I think that

  $("#someElement > *").filter(":hidden").size();
  

  will work.

  Updated: Added the '*'. Note that this will select the immediate children of #someElement.

  Zed : Nope, this will return 1, if #someElement is hidden, 0 otherwise.

  jscharf : You're right - the selector is missing a relation. Updated.

  Ronal : Excellent answer, thank you!

• Direct children of someElement that are hidden:

  $('#someElement > :hidden').length;
  

  Any descendants of someElement that are hidden:

  $('#someElement :hidden').length;
  

  If you already have a jQuery object you can use it as the context:

  var ele = $('#someElement');
  
  $(':hidden', ele).length;
  

• $("#someElement *:hidden").size()
