[Javascript] dynamically hide an element

[mdougherty at pbp.com (Mike Dougherty)]

I think this point gets even stronger if you added more rules for the class selector - since it 
would take (potentially) several lines of code to set each style without CSS, but only one line to 
modify the class.  Depending on whether you provide complete solutions or work with a team, it's 
usually better to keep the code away from the artists who want to skin the site every few weeks. 
:)

ex:
.highlight {
font-size: 1.25em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.5em;
text-decoration: underline;
color: yellow;
background-color: black;
etc.
}
