In order to select all visible or hidden elements in a page using jQuery, we can use the following jQuery selectors:

:visible Selector The visible Selector is used to select all the elements that are currently visible in the document.

  • Syntax:
    $(":visible") 

:hidden Selector The hidden selector selects hidden elements to work upon.

  • Syntax:
    $(":hidden")

Below example illustrates the above approach:
