Opera, Moz/FF and Safari will do just fine.
There are cases where this method doesn't work - alone, since 'removed
floats' acts a bit like absolute positioned elements, but there
shouldn't be a problem with it in your page-layout.

Not sure, but I think this 'IE-jog trick' is mine. ;-)
I've used it since late 2003.

Maybe... :-)

Some float-demos with description:

http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_02_03.html
http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_02_04.html
.... and the right-side nav leads to more stuff for 'web-carpenters'.

Removed floats in action:

.... never mind the subject. ;-)

BTW: all pages in that section are based on the same bunch of
float-tricks. I haven't written much about it there yet though.

The basics for negative margins on floats can be found here:

.... which all web-designers should know 'inside/out'.
