[jQuery] Re: Firefox and JS Function Overloading My Computer?

can't you just put your site in a wrapper div and give it the css 
property of margin:0 auto

no need for javascript to center a site.

the sky then loops around again, animated content area (when you click on an
image, it fades out the images and fades in the corresponding content),
bouncing tabs when you hover on them and I have it center my website wrapper
due to the many layers of the site.

The problem is that when I'm not on the site Firefox's memory usage (looking
at ONLY this webpage) 108mb and when I view my site it jumps to 115mb.

But what I'm worried about is that my fan speeds go from 3989RPMS (before
viewing site) to 4727RPMS.

That's over 730RPMS+ faster! :confused:

I think it's because of this piece of code that recenters my site

function absoluteCenter(){
var window_size = $(window).width();
var wrapper_width = $('#wrapper').width();
var center_it = ((window_size/2)-(wrapper_width/2));
$('#wrapper').css({left:center_it+'px'});
setTimeout('absolute_center()',1); //  I think it's this!
}


How else can I get Firefox to not have a delay when a user resizes the
browser window? Safari doesn't need that last line and updates right away,
but firefox can have up to a full 2-3 second delay at times!

The site has an actual amount of layers:

Cloud Wrapper
  cloud 1
  cloud 2
  cloud 3

Sky
Furthest hills
Middle hills
Close hills
Grass directly in front of you
Tree

Content Container
  Nav
Actual Content

this is a outdated site for the javascript (e.g. clouds don't repeat, sky
only goes from a dark blue to light blue and doesn't repeat, etc) but the
actual markup is pretty close to the same. I've been working locally on
this.

I don't think it's possible to center it with only CSS
