it before all that work. Better than my or Tyson's option, since it
doesn't rely on a hack that might break and it will not mess with
accessibility issues.

For the record, adding "display: none" to an element raises no
accessibility issues, at least in terms of screen-readers. All major
screen-readers discard elements that have a 'none" display type and
do not read them, just as a sighted person would not see them.
If you wanted an element to be hidden visually but read in a screen-
reader, you could do this:
style="position:absolute;width:0;height:0;text-indent:-9999em;"
Just for the record, anyways. :)
