Righto, I have now incorporated Bootnic's js into the design
because it looked promising on Bootnic's url in Window IE. When I
adapted it to my designs, it played up a bit with scroll bars
mysteriously appearing at the bottom of the window but in
addition to chrome ones in Safari. So I deleted the bits to do
with overflow. I have no idea yet whether this has now mucked up
its big saving grace for me, ie, working in Windows IE. This I
have not tested. But it seems fine to me in all my Mac browsers.
Mac IE is unfazed and ignores the centering js code. That's ok,
at least it floats things right.

But, interestingly enough, at least for me, was that it did not
at all seem difficult to maintain or adapt. If you go to:

you can see the efforts. The actual linked js has not been
changed from page to page (there are three pages to demonstrate
different format thumbnails and can be gotten to by the very
bottom link on the above url).

I would appreciate it to know if these pages look problmatic in
IE on Windows 6 or 7. I can test on 6 later.
