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

I had this problem with a a number of divs that were inserted in another div with position: absolute, the inserted divs had no position attribute. When I changed this to position:relative it worked fine. (was really hard to pinpoint the problem)

In my case the elements where inserted by Angular with ng-repeat.
