jQuery hide element while preserving its space in page layout

Viewed 93795

Is there a way in jQuery where I can hide an element, but not change the DOM when it's hidden? I'm hiding a certain element but when it's hidden, the elements below it move up. I don't want that to happen. I want the space to stay the same, but the element to be shown/hidden at will.

Can I do this?
