@waxdocFeb 16.2013 — #Floats are kinda like position:absolute in that floated elements are partially taken out of normal HTML doc flow.
Using width: 30% for all, I found that if one element is float: left and another is float: right, I could add an element margin: 0 auto AFTER the floated elements and it would ignore them and be centered. Putting the centered element before the floated ones, did not work.
@waxdocFeb 16.2013 — #NO. Do NOT float div with margin: auto; that would take it partially out of normal HTML flow.
I saw this on a post nd tried it. My explanation is a guess, ... add an element margin: 0 auto AFTER the floated elements and it would ignore them and be centered. [/quote] but it seems logical. The position of the centered element AFTER the floated ones is important,
