I have a page with duplicate ID's for a form element. The catch is I the elements show up separately based on a toggle. So both ID's never show up simultaneously.

However when I do form validation on that element, it always selects the element displayed last in the code (even if its hidden).

Is there a selector to select the visible duplicate ID?

I've tried the following but to no avail:

$('#my_element:visible').val();
