Adding tabs dynamically instead of replacement of DIV's

Rollbar works nicely by converting DIV's after onload, but there is one big disadvantage to this approach: the page has to load first and then the tabs get created. From the user's perspective, this results in "flasing interfaces", especially when using larger pages. My users are complaining because of this behavior; they start scrolling down in an partially layout-ed page and suddenly everything gets rendered again.

Ideally there would be an additional way of creating tabs, something like:

<script>
  DynarchRB.createTab('tab1', '<tabcontent>');
</script>

that already creates the actual tab.

This is just an idea: what I am trying to achieve is fast rendering without "flashing". I've also considered using IFRAME's as tab content (keeping the actual page as small as possible, speeding up the rerendering process), but this is not an option at this moment because the rollbar cannot be forced to occupy the page. This causes me to force an IFRAME height, and that really gets messy (you'd have to take into account user window dimensions etc., and I'm not even talking about the fact that the rollbar content doesn't resize on browser resize).

Anybody has any ideas or suggestions?

I've noticed the same issue in IE for my website. I've contacted the owner of the product here at this site and hopefully will get a response with a solution. I can't have that happen on my webpage as it looks entirely too unprofessional.
