Is that visibility : hidden; ? - display : none will cause a box to not be rendered, visiblity : hidden (CSS2 11.2) will just make it invisible, like Kevin Bacon in that really bad movie.
Another point to pick up on this discussion was seen with Peter's cinema site - doing something like this will cause your message to appear in search engine listings.

Nate,
First of all, that wasn�t my technique, just the one used by the site mentioned by Jaime.
A good articles on hiding content is Joe Clark's: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fir/
This article details the difference between "display: none" and "display: hidden".
"It seems clear that any element given a style of display: none should not be rendered, read, or manifested at all by any device in any modality. Hal, IBM Home Page Reader, OutSpoken, and Window-Eyes are behaving properly under this interpretation, while Jaws is misbehaving."
Joe Clark's article is referring to hiding heading content, not messages at the top of the page, but the points are still relevant.
