Mozilla has enabled the .click() method even when the control is otherwise hidden. Using opacity: 0 and setting width/height dimensions are what I usually do for WebKit, though webkit's pseudo-selectors are powerful enough to handle it with more grace.

I strongly suggest keeping click, to stay in line with Mozilla.
