You cannot center a "line" of floats.

I don't know. The problem is IE/Win < 7 and IE/Mac

<div style="background: green; float: left; position: relative;">
   green

   <div style="background: red; position:absolute; width:100%; top:2em; 
left:0;">
     redapbox
   </div>
</div>

While standards mode IE6 correctly shrink-wraps the green float with a 
width of 'auto', it fails utterly to assign the width of 100% to the red 
a.p. box, and takes the full available width. (This seems to work better 
in quirks mode).

And IE/Mac does not shrink-wrap a widthless float and inflates both 
boxes up to 100% available width.

I hope others have more ideas.
