[jQuery] safari flashes hidden text from hide()

[jQuery] safari flashes hidden text from hide()


Hello. I'm relatively new to jQuery and wrote a simple script that
hides a block of text and displays a read more link that when clicked
shows the hidden text. Everything works fine except in Safari where
the hidden text is initially displayed for a second or so before being
hidden. I did some research and I did run into a few posts about
similar Safari bugs but no resolution has worked for me yet.
Here is the page:
https://216.25.8.35/
And here is the js code:
https://216.25.8.35/gsuniverse/templates/javascripts/readmore.js
Is there a quick fix I can add in to resolve this? Any advice greatly
appreciated.
Thank you.
