Description

After upgrading Struts 2.3.16 to 2.3.20, my application GUI looks different. The application cannot retrieve a value stored in a hidden field using the jquery find function.
– The hidden fields are stored in table rows

            <table>
               <s:iterator value="xxx" var="yyy">
                      <tr onclick="javascript:showRow(this);" >
                            <td> some value </td>
                           <s:hidden id="some hidden value" value="%{hiddenValue}" />
                           <td> some value</td>             
                    </tr>	
              </s:iterator>
        </table>

       function showRow(row) {
                var $element = $(row);
                $element.closest("tr").find('td:first').add($element).find("input:hidden").each(function (i, elem) {

                // Why the code cannot access to any hidden fields here - not working in Struts 2.3.20
                }
      }
