By default a div will take up all available width minus the margins. That is the nature of 'display:block' (default display:property of a div). To have your div shrinkwrap to the width of its content, you'd have to change the display property: use something like 'display:table'. Or specify a width on it. In both cases, the div would then be centred using 'margin:auto;'.
