div tag wrap around object besides float

i've been searching and i know that float:left or float whatever does that, but what if I don't want to use float? Is there another way to make a div tag wrap around its contents? if i do

border: thin solid black;

it will show that by default the div tag is 100%.

Thank you

Edit: I have a div tag wrapped around a form

<div class='subHolder'>
<form action="" method="get">
<input type='text' class='subscribe' name='subscription'/>
<a class='buttonSubscribe orange'>Subscribe</a>
</form>
</div>

This is the style sheet

div.subHolder {
padding:30px;
margin:0 auto;
border:thin solid black;
display:inline-block;

}

How do I set it so it will float in the middle of the page?

Thank you
