Yes, removing an object from display does not remove it from the document 
object hierarchy.  This is easy to demonstrate:

=========================================
<html>
<head>
<script language="Javascript">
function ListLinks(){
         var aLinks = document.getElementsByTagName("A");
         for (var i=0; i < aLinks.length; i++)
         {
                 alert("Link " + i + ": " + aLinks[i].name);
         }
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="ListLinks()">

<a name="VisibleLink" href="#">The visible link</a>

<a name="InvisibleLink" href="#" style="display: none">The invisible link</a>

</body>
</html>
=========================================
