I have written a bit of jQuery that hides a certain element on page

  • 0

I have written a bit of jQuery that hides a certain element on page load, which works seamlessly on browsers on a mac, but when I try it on the iPad there is a noticable poping of the page as the element appears and then disappears. Is this the iPad that is causing the problem, in which case I may have to rethink my page loading process.

To hide the element I am using:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#element').hide();
});

Other jQuery later shows the element when I click on things so I could possible hide it using css but that won’t degrade nicely on the absence of js.

    Why don’t you just a class to the html tag right after you declare it (with javascript) and use CSS to hide the element ?

    Javascript

    <script type="text/javascript">
document.documentElement.className = 'js';
</script>

    Css rule (in a stylesheet, or in the head as well)

    .js #element{display:none;}

    just add the above inside the page <head> tag and you should be set.
