detect if input is hidden-type

I'm selecting a element with a certain name

$('[name="lol"]']

but there can be two elements with the same name, one of the is a hidden input field.

How can I ignore hidden input fields from the selector above?

$('[name="lol"]:not(:hidden)'] kind of works, but fails if the non-hidden input field is not visible on the screen... How can I specifically ignore only hidden-type inputs, not non-visible elements?

It sounds like you're looking for <input type="hidden"> elements. If so then look specifically for the type="hidden" attribute

$('[name="lol"][type!="hidden"]')

Give them different id's and use that, rather than the name?

Use the :visible selector instead
