CSS div tags

Good day all:

I have searched, read all I could and I am still not too sure about
this so I figured I would make my own post.

I know that Google says "Avoid hidden text or hidden links." but
doesn't that defeat the purpose of CSS in some instances?  I was under
the impression that there is a way to hide and show div tags / layers
for a reason, to give designers the tools to make dynamic web site
designs.  Or am I wrong about that?

I am sure I am not the only one who has created a dynamic site and used
showing and hiding layers in the site design.  Even if is is just a
small area where you want 2 snippets of information that swap with say,
a rollover.

But, if Google might ban you for hidden text and links I am, shall we
say, a tad confused.  To me what that says is all of us designers who
use a hidden layer for our design are setting ourselves up to get
banned?  I do not know about the rest of you, but that does seem pretty
odd to me.  :-)

Any ideas, advice, etc on this topic would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Mark
