If you are doing what I am thinking, there are issues putting UI nodes in a subflow (I forget what - but it doesnt work as expected)
Perhaps this is of some help - something i did some time back...
there are lots of hint and clues in there that might prove useful (like moving away from directly specifying colours - using classes instead, etc)
That shouldn't even get through to the browser. Share your code if you want someone to look closer.
