This primarily is to fix the fact that previously using #hide{} to hide the objects initially was resulting in a flash of the textarea displaying before jquery loads. This removes that and has it rendered hidden prior to anything. The addition of short_if is just for a syntactical sugar to remove some of the tedium common in web development where you only display something (a class, style, whatever) in a certain condition. It's similar to the common ternary operator in procedural languages ( Cond ? IfTrue : IfFalse ), with a twist, IfTrue and IfFalse can be functions that, if true or false, will be evaluated, allowing for a semi-lazy evaluation in the event that either IfTrue or IfFalse.
