Need help with div

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Simple problem I guess, but I can’t seem to figure out why.
I’m using two seperate div’s to split a page (one naviagational, one content)
This is my CSS

[CODE]/* CSS Document */
body
{
background-color: #000;
color: #FFF
}
div#alpha
{
float: left;
width: 10%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
border-top: none;
border-right: 2px solid #333;
border-bottom: 2px solid #333
}
div#beta
{
float: left;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
text-align: center
}[/CODE]

See the widths on them, 10% and 80%, this makes the text center as it should be, but if I ajust it to fit 100%, it uncenters. Example.

[CODE]/* CSS Document */
body
{
background-color: #000;
color: #FFF
}
div#alpha
{
float: left;
width: 10%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
border-top: none;
border-right: 2px solid #333;
border-bottom: 2px solid #333
}
div#beta
{
float: left;
width: 90%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
text-align: center
}[/CODE]

Now the total width is equal to 100%, but the text in beta class is uncentered. Any ideas to what is causing this?

@pcthugFeb 15.2006 — [I]Dave Shea: [/I]Sometimes rounding errors will cause something like 50% + 50% to add up to 100.1%, which ends up breaking layouts in some browsers. Try bumping down the 50% to 49%, or even 49.9%.

@Gaurav_KhannaFeb 21.2006 — just try to remove the float from the div beta

{

width: 90%;

height: 100%;

margin: 0;

text-align: center

}

or

.alpha

{

float: left;

width: 10%;

height: 100%;

margin: 0;

border-top: none;

border-right: 2px solid #333;

border-bottom: 2px solid #333

}

.beta

{

width: 90%;

height: 100%;

margin: 0;

text-align: center
