I’m trying to create a page, so that if one has a widescreen monitor, they will be able to see as many centered divs on a row as possible. So I’m floating these div boxes left so they are not stacking vertically, but horizontally. The problem is, they don’t center. Do you know a way do to it with CSS.

No, you can't perfect centre with css as I understand you want. You can get awfully close but.
Feel free to give a URL so that your js could be traced by us all, it might prove useful. I have clean forgot now if the mass of floats as a whole centred properly in Internet Explorer, I think I would have checked in IE6 at the time, but likely not in IE7? The javascript on those pages at my URL is named in honour of its maker. And it was fashioned probably with the details of my page in mind. So anything you come up with that makes it more general would likely be helpful.

CSS version. I did not even try to make this work with older mozilla type browsers. Not really the same but close, and no js.

FF2 does not support inline-block, though FF3 does. It would also fail in most other mozilla browsers.
What I have confirmed it works in:
IE 6 IE 7 Safari 3 FF 3 Opera 9.5 Galeon 2.0.5

(But, aside from this exercise, for a feature that is not essential, namely centering a mass of floated thumbs, I am still happier with the the original, employing some js and not inconveniencing anyone at all).
