browser repainting

Honestly, I don’t know where to categorize this issue. Hope you guys understand me for now.

I was reading an article looking for a front-end developer and read this “what causes a browser to repeatedly re-paint” thing. Searched it over the internet but can’t find a clear answer.

Will somebody tell me what does this re-paint means or at least an article that can give me a clear answer. Thanks in advance guys. I’m just a beginner in developing sites so I don’t know things that much. =)

@FangAug 30.2010 — Repainting or redrawing is when changes are made to the style of elements.

@iahneauthorSep 02.2010 — One last question fang..what causes a browser to repeatedly re-paint then? on my months of development my only idea for a browser to re-paint is due to user's actions. But those repainting happens at least once per action of user. Thank you very much for any idea. =)
