jQuery style not being applied in Safari

Question

I have an absolutely positioned element that I move with the help of jQuery using the CSS propertly \'left\'.

$(\"#element\").css(\'left\', \'103px\');
         


        

Answer 1

I faced this problem once and i end up using addClass and removeClass on elements parent container.

try this

$("#element").css('left', '103px').parent().addClass("dummyClass").removeClass("dummyClass");

if that doesn't work follwoing will work for sure.

$("#element").css('left', '103px');
$("body").addClass("dummyClass").removeClass("dummyClass");

the problem is sometime safari doesn't redraw the page when we change CSS so we need to force redrawing
