insteed of visibility: hidden / visible

You could always move the div off the canvas. How about this?
document.getElementById("div_i_want_to_hide").styl e.left = "-2000px";

Doesn't matter how big it is, nor the resolution , of the monitor. The
only time the div would be visible is if:

a) The div is more than 2000px wide.
b) The user, seeing the scrollbar at the bottom of the browser, scrolled
to the left to get to it.
