I might be reading your problem wrong, but most people usually center
div's using
div#mydiv { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }
So you might have:
<div style="width: 1000px;">
<div style="width: 500px; margin-left: auto; margin-right:
auto;">foo bar!</div>
</div>
And the inner div would be horizontally centered within the larger, outer div.
