How to hide an input text component?

Content

My apologies if this sounds like a really stupid question, but how can you hide a label and/or input text component?  Below is simple code for my page.  as you can see, I'm simply using the "hidden" attribute on the label, input text and button.  The only one that is working is the button.

I know I can probably use oj-bind-if to do the same thing.  However, components shift around if the bind value is false.  Ideally, what I would like to happen is simply hide the component from its exact position in the page and leave the rest of the page layour intact.
