Hmm, I see what you mean. He's made quite a few changes, no gallery or 
anchor containers, etc. Makes it a little difficult to compare what Jim did 
to the original Nicholls' markup. Well, he did say "experimentation and 
blind guessing," so I guess it's not surprising that they are significantly 
different.

What gets me is that his .zoom and .zoom:hover rules, while simpler, do seem 
to be appropriate to the purpose, and they do work in browsers not based on 
Webkit. Opera, IE, and Firefox all have no problem with it. I wonder what it 
is about the Webkit browsers that keeps that CSS from succeeding, while it 
works fine in the IE, FF, and Opera engines...

cheers,
scott
