Hey guys, hoping you can help me out here with something that has been bothering me and I cant figure it out for the life of me!

Site developing is a dynamic site that is populated by db, and the size of the page(height and amount of boxes) can vary from page to page - ie not exactly 900 px total area every page.

So I use a css border to go around the inside body area...Since there can be different amount of boxes/total body height, the border loads about 5 px high for first 1second of page load, then extends to bottom of page in firefox after the short delay. I do not see this delay in IE due most likely to the way it renders, but it is really agitating to see it in firefox and I can get rid of it, even by specifying a temp height.

Anyone help me not have this border height delay? Thanks in advance!

probably no help just some more thoughts - might get time to take a look later

I wonder if this is related to the reports, and my own observations, that FF also delays background colors/images on page load. I have seen it with backgrounds as I use FF all the time, but have never had time to look into if there's fix or if it's just FF's choice to render the important content first.

maybe this one is specific to borders or maybe it is related to dynamically generated pages as most blogs are generated too, and it's blog design/templates I've mainly noticed it happening on too.

anybody else know or read a bug report to this effect?
