A possible workaround would be to have an absolutely positioned div
displayed above (on the z axis) everything else, obscuring it from view. The
function that you call on page load should be amended so that the last thing
that happens is that it removes or hides this div. At least then you could
control what the user sees.

I haven't been following this thread exhaustively so please forgive me if
this has already been suggested, but why don't you do this on the server? It
would then work seamlessly and not rely on javascript.
