Selenium WebDriver clicking on hidden element

Question

Hi I would like to know how to click on hidden element and/or disable element by using Selenium WebDriver.

I know with selenium 1 I can do this as below:

It may not fit your needs, but another solution for some might be to alter the CSS for hiding an element.

Whilst Selenium won't find an element with display: none; it will find an element with the following:

.hide {
    position: absolute;
    top: -99em;
    left: -99em;
}

Then rather than using jQuery.show/hide/toggle in your app, you would use jQuery.toggleClass('hide', true/false/unset_to_toggle).
