The document ready function in 1.2.6 was updated to wait on styles. This is
a good thing sometimes but other times it causes said flickers. On a few
recent projects I packaged up the old ready function as domready so that I
could avoid the flickers. You can find the code here:
http://brandonaaron.net/jquery/snippets/jquery.domready.js
You can use it just like you use ready but instead of ready it is domready.
$(document).domready(function() { ... });
I'd also like to make mention that it would be good practice to add a class
to the body to signify that JS is enabled. Then use CSS to handle the
display when JS is enabled.
$(document).domready(funciton() {
$('body').addClass('jsEnabled'); // let css know js is enabled
});
Now in CSS you can just say:
body.jsEnabled p.firstparagraph { display: none; }
