In my page I give a certain size to a DIV with jQuery, based on the size of the last tweet that I retrieve through PHP.
Problem : I need to use jQuery(window).bind(“load”, function() in order for jQuery to “see” the size of the tweet, but then, I can see the resizing (perfomed my jQuery) in front of my eyes and I dislike it. I want the page to appear in its final state.
Is that possible ?
You have two options. 1) Start off with your tweet element hidden, then show/fade it in when everything is loaded.
2) My preferred solution is to call the $.blockUI() plugin as soon possible, and then $.unblockUI when everything has loaded. The blockUI plugin also has a facility for blocking only certain elements rather than the whole page, there is a demo here
