SharePoint 2010 Site Customization: Removed breadcrumb and now receiving errors -

i removed following fields "s4-titletext" cell using manage content regions in spd:

• placeholdersitename
• placeholderpagetitleintitlearea
• placeholderpagedescription

and added "sharepoint:splinkbutton... visible="false"

i have published template , have set default master. displays fine when add web part (not in spd), error "you must specify value required field" , not let me add/remove web part or change list. did wrong in customization? followed instructions on this post. used option 2 hide words. reason removed fields because want stretch our banner across whole page , didn't want leave space bread crumb have been. "s4-titletext" area looks pictures on top of page, banner stretched across top of page. can not add link page due being on private server. have asked other sharepoint experts , stumped well. thank on this.

instead of setting visible="false", getting hiding control using css class. set control's class 'hiddenclass' , define class style.

.hiddenclass{display: none;} 

customizing sharepoint masterpages pain since they're sensitive. have use method when hiding lot of out of box controls.
