In fact, I do have an example of that, and it does not seem slow at all (except for some late-occurrence image loading in the second example): http://bradclicks.com/cssplay/tabs.html It works well in FireFox 3, but WebKit seems to not even bother with reresolving the style on the nodes. P.S. The second example could have been done better if "inner shadow" was available, but that is a separate discussion.
