how can I hide elements in the editingArea in IE?

I can't seem to hide elements in the editingArea in IE? Display:none and visibility:hidden are both not working. Is there a way or workaround?

(it's for showing live mouseover controls in the editingArea with a plugin I'm creating)

Hmmm after a lot of googling it turns out that setting

FCK.EditorDocument.execCommand('RespectVisibilityInDesign', true, null);

makes display:none and visibility:hidden to work.
Another well hidden IE thing...

Only thing is that I have lots of flickering now when I move my mouse.

Note that this flickering is caused by toggling the display of a 'mouseover control element' in the editingArea onmouseover of an object in there (a plugin I'm developing), so anyone not doing that should be able to use this setting without a problem.
