// 2. if the element was to flash render it has minimal visual impact. | |
// 3. less flakyness with selection and copying which **might** occur if | |
// the textarea element is not visible. | |
// | |
// The likelihood is the element won't even render, not even a | |
// flash, so some of these are just precautions. However in | |
// Internet Explorer the element is visible whilst the popup | |
// box asking the user for permission for the web page to | |
// copy to the clipboard. | |
