:before and :after content with parent element visibility issue - css

Question

I have a container div that has an input type="checkbox" that has pseudo-elements added using ::before and ::after.
function hiding() {
var child = document.getElementById("child");
child.style.visibility = "hidden";
}
var hide = document.getElementById("hide");
hide.addEventListener("click", hiding);
function showing() {
var child = document.getElementById("child");
child.style.visibility = "visible";
}
var show = document.getElementById("show");
show.addEventListener("click", showing);

JSFiddle Example Note: written for webkit only at the moment.
The CSS visibility property of the container element is changed from 'visible' to 'hidden' using JavaScript. This only seems to happen when going from 'visible' to 'hidden', not vice versa.
The pseudo-elements remain visible for a moment before disappearing.
Is it possible to prevent the pseudo-elements from lingering when switching the visibility?
PS: you will earn my eternal gratitude if you can tell me how to get this to work IE and Firefox (I know I only have webkit tags in the example but is that all I need to do to fix it?)
