ie6 is jumpy when you're loading the page bc the js takes a few
seconds to do it's magic. any workaround's for this? im guessing I
should hide it first.

The best solution is to improve the speediness of your CSS. Try to avoid
wild card selectors in the CSS that IE7.js will try to fix.

e.g. If you are using min-width, then don't do this:

.column1 {
min-width: 10em;
}

do this instead:

div.column1 {
min-width: 10em;
}

Another example:

[type=text] {color: #897def;}

is better written:

input[type=text] {color: #897def;}

90% of the time this is the problem in slow loading pages.

What about ids? Do I need to do the same with ids?

No. IDs are faster than anything else.
