How can we reload html page without blinking?

Why does GMail reload the entire page after changing the position of my chat list in Labs? It is just reordering HTML right? Or is there some specific reason for this?

  • Answer:

    Labs features, when enabled (or disabled after previously enabled), become effective (or ineffective) on page load. The feature you are referring to is implemented as a lab feature, hence requiring page refresh. Otherwise your understanding is correct - a mere layout change (suitably by CSS rather than reordering HTML) should not require a refresh.
