To the OP: please ignore this cargo-cult nonsense. This is a poor 
alternative to the proper solution, which is to configure your server to 
send the appropriate HTTP headers: content-visibility in this case. It 
uses the same values -- with the same effect -- as the hidecode 
attribute. However, the hidecode attribute was deprecated in HTML 2, and 
eventually browsers will stop supporting it (a few user agents -- 
Googlebot and Firefox in particular -- don't support it now). However, 
the HTTP header will be with us forever.

Keep up the great work!
