Yes, it's possible, but unless you want to get into some rather complex CSS,
the container has to have a fixed width.
#container {
width:800px;
}
#content {
margin:0 auto;
border:2px solid red;
}
That will do what I think you're after. #content will stretch depending on
its content. Hope it helps,
Rafael
