Hi all,  
does anybody know how to make it not flicker when in a rjs you  
replace\_html and then do a blind\_down? it looks like it displays the  
whole div, then shrinks it, then grows it…how to fix?

Emanuele.

Try making the initial style of the div “hidden” so that the browser  
does  
not display it first.
