Rails spinoffs - Jul 2005 - safari vs. firefox on mac os x: flickering combination effects

Hi.

I''m wondering if this is a documented problem. Combination effects  
such as  .BlindDown or .SlideDown exhibit a not so fun flicker at the  
end of their rendering process in Firefox on Mac OS X.  This does NOT  
happen in Safari.

Does anybody know how to fix this or if it will get fixed in a next  
release?

All best,
Tench

There''s flickering in IE as well for those.  A fix (at least for IE)
was proposed on this mailiing list before, but I''m not sure if it has
been or if there are plans to incorporate it into the next release.

If you search back in the mailing list for messages with the subject
''flashing divs in IE with use of BlindUp and BlindDown'',
you''ll find
the proposed solution.  Not sure if this fixes the issues you''re
seeing in the other browsers as well though.

Thanks a lot, Andrew, for your response.  Unfortunately, the IE fix  
doesn''t change anything in the way Firefox on OS X renders these  
effects.

Does anybody know if the problem I am seeing occurs on Macs only, or  
if all flavors of Firefox flash at the end of BlindDown?

That''s a firefox bug.

Giving the outer DIV elements "overflow:hidden" should fix this (note
I "think" the FF bug is fixed with the upcoming Firefox version 1.5).

You''ll also need the 1.1beta script.aculo.us version or later (as far  
i remember). :)

Thanks a lot, Thomas.  Yes, "overflow:hidden" does the trick.
