I still find many sites that are using hidden text to stuff their keywords within a the pages of their websites to get higher rankings.
This is a big no no and should defiantly be avoided as when the search engines twig as to what you are doing you will more than likely get your domain banned.
In some instances its not the website owners doing it can be down to the SEO Consultant hired to do the job but never the less the website is the entity that will end up getting banned.
To check to see if you have hidden text on ny of your pages just navigate to the page and press CTRL & A which will select all the text on the page and if there is and hidden text you will be able to see it.
