How can I access elements that have name <code>X</code> and type <code>hidden</code>?

You should try this if you want <code>type=hidden</code> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>$('input[name="X"][type="hidden"]') </code></pre> If you want an element that is hidden via css then you should try <pre class="prettyprint"><code>$('[name="X"]:hidden') </code></pre>
