Though I don't doubt this has been answered I cannot find a great match for my question.

I have a table for which I'd like to filter rows based on whether or not they contain a hidden field matching a value.

I understand that the technique tends to be "show all rows", "filter the set", "show/hide that filtered set"

I have the following jquery but I'm aweful with filter and my filtered set seems to always contain no elements.

my table is the usual

<table>
<tr><td>header></td><td>&nbsp;</tr>
<tr>
<td>a visible cell</td><td><input type='hidden' id='big-asp.net-id' value='what-im-filtering-on' />
</td>
</tr>
</table>

My goal is to be able to match on tr who's descendent contains a hidden input containing either true or false.

this is how I've tried the selector (variations of this) and I'm not even testing for the value yet.

function OnFilterChanged(e){
    //debugger;
    var checkedVal = $("#filters input[type='radio']:checked").val();
    var allRows = $("#match-grid-container .tabular-data tr");
    if(checkedVal=="all"){        
         allRows.show();
    }
    else if(checkedVal=="matched"){
         allRows.show();
         allRows.filter(function(){$(this).find("input[type='hidden'][id~='IsAutoMatchHiddenField']")}).hide();

    }
    else if(checkedVal=="unmatched"){

    }
}

Am I way off with the filter? is the $(this) required in the filter so that i can do the descendant searching?

Thanks kindly
