Yes, there are errors. display:inline-block is not yet in any finalized
CSS recommendation. It is in the CSS2.1 working draft. I don't see how
to do without inline-block (or its Gecko-equivalent
display:-moz-inline-box).

Yes, I know that IE is mostly CSS1 compliant.

Knowing these things is part of the problem statement. It helps, of
course, to clearly articulate what the problem is. Currently, I'm
looking for solutions to get what I already have to work with IE.

There is no JavaScript on the main page at all. The demo pages use
JavaScript copiously.

Excuse me? I'm not sure what you are trying to say. In order to achieve
successful communication you would have to be a little more explicit.

Scriptaculous is a set of JavaScripts: <http://script.aculo.us/>
