You are welcome! The empty divs are the same number (8) of your albumBox
divs, and being inline-blocks can be centered without using your technique
with relative, -50%, ... which requires a shrink-wrapping container.
The first empty div is used as an anchor to start the positioning of your
divs which are stacked above the empty ones.
Moreover the empty divs are bigger of yours and partially overlapping to
provide the white background needed to simulate the presence of a white
shrink-wrapping container which is not really there.
Don't know if this clarifies things a bit...

I guess that you implemented the server-side switch for Safari since I get
the modified page in it (not with the Fx3 beta nightly build I'm using.)  As
I told you, I consider the whole thing a bit fragile, but well, it's surely
interesting :-)
