Re: [Xsltforms-support] Firefox rendering issue - anyone know a workaround?

[Adam M. <Ada...@gm...>]

Yikes, what a bug.

I found this (old) page which includes some apparently relevant JavaScript
to try out:

    http://ajaxian.com/archives/forcing-a-ui-redraw-from-javascript

Basically it just modifies the DOM a bit, in the hopes of getting the
browser to re-think the layout.  I'm not sure if that script will be any
good in this situation.  But once you do have a workaround in JS, you can
invoke it from your form with an action like this:

    <xf:action ev:observer='my-model' ev:event='xforms-ready'>
        <xf:load resource='javascript:redraw();'/>
    </xf:action>

Best of luck.
