I did something almost identical recently with help from this list. In the 
end the best solution (for me at least) was to use CSS classes:

.hidden {display: none;}
.shown {display: block;}

In the HTML:
<div id="selectbox" class="hidden">concealed selectbox here</div>

And in the Javascript for a simple toggle of the visibility I did:

if( myReference.className != 'hidden' ) {
    myReference.className = 'hidden';
    } else {
    myReference.className = 'shown';
    }

This way the space collapses back when the div is hidden.

Hope this helps.

Mark
