Rails spinoffs - Apr 2007 - Avoiding firefox flickering in-between updating elements?

I''m struggling to avoid flickers in firefox when updating elements.
Specifically, here - http://bestbefore.tv/flickr.html

I''m removing an element that''s floated left, and at the same
time
adjusting the position of the parent element so that the other child
elements don''t change their screen position.  In Firefox, I''m
seeing
that the element is removed, the screen is redrawn (where all the
other child elements jump left since their sibling has disappeared),
and then the parent element''s position is set.  I don''t
suppose
there''s a way of disabling screen updates?   Any other ways of
creating a ''transaction'' of element updates?

One way of handling this is to make all the child elements absolutely
positioned, rather than floated left, but that''s making my code quite
a bit more complex.

Cheers,
Jon

How about making it transparent the time of the update, would that solve the
problem ?
