I hope I did not mislead you. When I said that your original js
was working fine too, I meant (I am sure this was not clear, my
bad) simply that your latest version (after the original trouble
with your first offering) works for me in Safari and other
browsers whether or not I remove the bits about the overflow.
That was all. I have removed them still but I will also put up a
version where they are left in shortly for anyone interested in
this stuff to compare the effects.

You know, of course, that I do not float the wrapper in any of
the 3 pages. The only floats are the little divs containing the
pics and captions.
