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         


        

Answer 1

For some reason I couldn't get danorton's answer to work, I could see what it was supposed to do so I tweaked it a little bit to this:

$('#foo').css('display', 'none').height();
$('#foo').css('display', 'block');

and it worked for me.
