This is the only case I know of that requires inline styles. All other
Prototype/s.a.u.-related style manipulations do not need a predefined
inline-originating value.

On the event handler side, you're correct in an unobstrusive JS context
(the only one worth using!). This is due to the combination of the
following issues:

1. Unobstrusive JS mandates code being in another file.
2. The link to this file should be done using script tags *in the
head*; putting some in the body is technically allowed, but frowned
upon.
3. This other file will parse & execute at load time, which is when the
script tag is found, which is before the rest of the document (and the
body) is parsed; therefore, the DOM is mostly empty at this point.

Hence, you would have to resort to page load completion. Which is a
bother for pre-hiding.
