Subj : JavaScript style changes

Hello,
I have a problem with Mozilla's and Moz Firefox's JavaScript Engine. 
There is a function on my Website, which moves a <div> pixel by pixel 
(this_div.style.left = old_position+1+"px";). It calls itself recursive 
by the window.setTimeout() method (1ms timeout). On all other browsers 
(IE, Netscape, Opera) this thing works fine, but Mozilla lets this <div> 
move so slow, that you really might waste your time, if you visit the 
page...
So where's the problem and how can I fix it? I also tried the 
window.setInterval() method, but it's really the same result. If you use 
while{ }, then the <div> doesn't "move", it rather is on the endposition 
from the beginning.
Can anybody help me?
