<p>Elements with <code>visibility: hidden</code> or <code>opacity: 0</code> are considered visible, since they still consume space in the layout.</p>
<p>Elements that are not in a document are considered to be hidden; jQuery does not have a way to know if they will be visible when appended to a document since it depends on the applicable styles.</p>
<p>During animations that hide an element, the element is considered to be visible until the end of the animation. During animations to show an element, the element is considered to be visible at the start at the animation.</p>
<p>Attempting to detect if an <code>option</code> element is visible or not is completely useless. It'll be always hidden, regardless if it's selected (thus visible) or not.</p>

@AurelioDeRosa . This is good information to have in here. Thanks! I'm just not sure about the phrasing (e.g. "is completely useless" and "It'll be always"). Mind if I merge it in with some editing? Authorship will still go to you, of course.

@kswedberg. Hi! Feel free to change anything you want to further improve the documentation. I also don't mind about the authorship as long as we, together, can improve the project. :)

<p>How <code>:visible</code> is calculated was changed in jQuery 1.3.2. The <a href="http://blog.jquery.com/2009/02/20/jquery-1-3-2-released/">release notes</a> outline the changes in more detail.</p>
