Is there a way to force weweb to keep an elements dimensions even when the element is conditionally hidden? When I hide an element, it screws up my spacing. I seem to recall that there was a technique for this, but I can’t remember how to do it…

It’s OK, I just put the text element into a div, and specified a fixed width for the div, then hid the text element.
