Howeve...

When does IE7 recompute styles? Doesn't work reliably when a class is added to the body.

I have an interesting problem here. I'm using a class on the element as a switch to drive a fair amount of layout behavior on my site. If the class is applied, certain things happen, and if the class isn't applied, they don't happen. Javascript is used to apply and remove the class.
