I see. The problem is, that if you set something to position: absolute,
it shrinks to fit. Maybe this is also the reason why the height is
miscalculated.
Another point is that if I append some element to the body, it may
inherit other styles than where it originally was. Apart from that, in
my case the element in question is a <dd> element. Appending that to the
body results in invalid html, and than results may be unpredictable anyway.
And I couldn't see that flash of content although, but maybe my computer
is too fast.
Maybe you could wrap another element around it with overflow: hidden and
height: 0, not sure if that works...
