jQuery remove() on element doesn't hide used space
<p>I'm removing an element using <code>remove()</code> (it's a <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> with <code>display: inline;</code> set, although the same problem seems to exist with <code>display: block;</code>), and while the element is removed from the page the space it was occupying isn't.</p>

<p>Is this standard behaviour and so should I be using another method instead? The <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> contains a form field, so I'm wanting to ideally not have this form field sent through to the server - hence using <code>remove()</code> instead of <code>hide()</code>.</p>
