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

I've found this method to be useful when working with transitions

$element[0].style.display = 'table'; 
$element[0].offsetWidth; // force reflow
$element.one($.support.transition.end, function () { 
    $element[0].style.display = 'block'; 
});
