form authentication interfering with page layout

#629

Rails automatically inserts these snippets to help authenticate forms:

<div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;">
<input type="hidden" value="put" name="_method"/>
<input type="hidden" value="461f8f380f7920fd06015c1d2541c23e71f11d8c" name="authenticity_token"/>
</div>

Occasionally, CSS styling overflows into these divs. However, it is impossible to remove the overflow from these divs because the divs do not have associated class names.

Suggested solution: Add class="hidden" to the div or just add the style to hide it.

Should there be a global rails namespace for rails-generated classes? "hidden" seems like it'd be a pretty common class.
rails-hidden-inputs ?

That would work. As a side benefit, it would also help people looking over
output code understand what is generated by Rails and what is not.

Implementet this. Wrapping div gets class 'rails-hidden-inputs' when an element has type="hidden". If my implementation is too shady, there is at least updated tests for the div class.

Namespacing, in the pure sense, went out the window, since all hidden elements get tagged with rails-hidden-*inputs*. But as far as I can see, all hidden elements generated by rails are input fields. As least as far as the tests go. Its a hack, I know. I needed something bite-size to poke my fingers at.

Staling out, please reopen if this is still a problem.
