The background image seems to be centered on this end in all browsers.
The simplest means to position the pyramid image, considering the
alternatives with your current positioning scheme, is to move #pyr_top
in the markup to be the first id to open and the first id to close.
Please see (quick checked in IE/6.0, IE/7.0, and some compliant Mac
browsers:

There is nothing "wrong" with any of the positioning methods [1]
currently available-- including the use of position relative and
absolute. In general, until something better comes along in the future,
float constructed layouts where content determines height tend to be far
less restrictive, and less problematic than those structured nearly
entirely (such as yours) with absolute positioning.
