[jQuery] Java Applet flickering

[jQuery] Java Applet flickering


In the following test case, the java applet flickers when you mouse
over the text - this seems to be due to the fact that the DIV that we
are trying to get the width of is "display:none", therefore jQuery
temporarily changes the properties of it's parent while getting the
width.
Is there any way to correct this?
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="/visual/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tester').bind('mouseover', function() {
var w = $('#tester2').width();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#bb8888">
<div id="tester">Get width</div>
<div id="tester2" style="display:none;">AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</div>
<div style="position:absolute;right:100px;">
<applet width="230" height="75"></applet>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
Lincoln
