Google and other search engines will penalize you for hidden keywords.
This is the same thing as white text on white background. The bots have
been trained to spot it.

And for users who do not have javascript available, how are they going to
see it?
The best thing to do is use sematically correct markup, and put your
keywords into the actual content. Don't try to play games with the bots,
they win every time.
