What are you trying to achieve? Do you want fields to be shown/hidden 
dynamically in the browser based on the values of other fields? If so, see 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#Conditional-fields
 
or use custom Javascript.

If you want to hide a given field when creating the initial HTML rendering 
of the form, then you can use something like your approach, though you 
would add a special CSS class:

form.element("#id_element").add_class('hidden')
