Also, as an aside, I'm not sure the browser handles Javascript last, just asynchronously. If you have: link ... / link .../ script .../ link .../ I'm pretty sure it will fetch your css first, then wait on the JS, then load the next CSS file.

Since the browser will always have the Markup and CSS before the javascript is finished it's a pretty typical approach to avoid seeing stuff before the JS is done, although having a simplified version of your page that is accessible to users without JS enabled (for instance all the tabs visible from the start like you're seeing) is important, and if you only show content once javascript is loaded you're basically serving an invisible page to people that disable it.
