Is there a way in jQuery where I can hide an element, but not change the DOM when it's hidden? I'm hiding a certain element but when it's hidden, the elements below it move up. I don't want that to happen. I want the space to stay the same, but the element to be shown/hidden at will.
Can I do this?

You can hide an element in CSS using the CSS properties display: none or visibility: hidden. display: none removes the entire element from the page and mat affect the layout of the page. visibility: hidden hides the element while keeping the space the same.
you can wrap another div around the outside of it, and probably tell it a specific height to occupy. that way your inner div can show and hide and fadeOut, etc, and the outer div will hold down the real-estate on the page.
The visibility CSS property shows or hides an element without changing the layout of a document.
The hide() method hides the selected elements. Tip: This is similar to the CSS property display:none. Note: Hidden elements will not be displayed at all (no longer affects the layout of the page). Tip: To show hidden elements, look at the show() method.
Instead of hide(), use:
css('visibility','hidden')
hide() sets the display style to none, which completely removes the element from the document flow and causes it to not take up space.
visibility:hidden keeps the space as it is.
