How can I force WebKit to redraw/repaint to propagate style changes?

Question

I have some trivial JavaScript to effect a style change:

sel = document.getElementById(\'my_id\');
sel.className = sel.className.replace(/item-[1-9]-selected

Since the display + offset trigger didn't work for me, I found a solution here:

i.e.

element.style.webkitTransform = 'scale(1)';
