[jQuery] Safari Hide() - Everything I am running across fails.

[urbolutions]

This is the popular bug wherein Safari refuses to hide elements.

Environment/code setup:

- JQuery 1.2.6.min
- Hidden elements exist in root html file as:
<div id="cardsContainer"></div>

- Hidden elements initial style is declared as:
#pageContentContainer #bodyContainer #cardsContainer {
     position: absolute;
     top: 170px;
     left: 80px;
     width: 650px;
     height: 290px;
     border: 0px solid blue;
     display:none;
}

The above should present with a hidden object and does not.

Later, there is a routine that hides objects as such:
$('#cardsContainer').hide();
OR ALTERNATELY
$('#cardsContainer').css('display','none');

All fail to hide the containers. The containers have swf objects
inside.

Any ideas?

Thanks much!
