My apologies -- I don't fully understand your problem, and I can't
really take the time to wade through it. From the above paragraph, I'm
wondering if using a higher z-index value for the new element would solve
your problem; or if using "display: none" instead of "visibility: hidden"
would do it, since setting display to "none" does not reserve space for the
element in the document flow, whereas setting visibility to "hidden" does.
Sorry if I'm totally off-kilter...
