How do you create a hidden div that doesn’t create a line break or horizontal space?

I want to have a hidden checkbox that doesn’t take up any space on the screen.

If I have this:

<div id="divCheckbox" style="visibility: hidden">

I don’t see the checkbox, but it still creates a new line.

If I have this:

<div id="divCheckbox" style="visibility: hidden; display:inline;">

it no longer creates a new line, but it takes up horizontal space on the screen.

Is there a way to have a hidden div that takes up no room (vertical or horizontal?
