[thelist] Shrink wrapping a div?

.somediv{display: inline}

Thanks, but as always I should have phrased the question better.  Using
display: inline; sorta works, but not quite.  I am wanting to center a div
of arbitrary width (depending on dynamic content), and give it a border that
just frames the content.  Doing this with a fixed-width div is no problem,
but I am trying to style for a div of unknown precise width.

In days of yore, I would wrap a table around the content, give it
align="center" and call it a day.  Well, for the border, there would be
another table framing the first, but we won't talk further about nested
tables in mixed company.  Anyway, I am sure I am just missing something
here.
