That is a great point.

That too is a great point, but you were completely correct that we were 
actually referring to "visibility: hidden" rather than "display: hidden" 
despite typing the latter; I should have caught that when replying to Allan, 
but school work and work work had me very tired last night.  Thank you for 
pointing out my error.
