I can't see where is problem, but .topbar
isn't centered as it should be... Distance from left and right should be equal.
This is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>asd</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="topbar">asd</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body {
background:#000;
font:14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color:#FFF;
background-repeat:repeat;
}
.wrapper {
width:90%;
min-widht:200px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.wrapper * {
float:left;
}
.topbar {
width:inherit;
height:50px;
background:#000;
}
You are inheriting width:90%
- either set it to 100% explicitly or do not float wrapper descendants: http://jsfiddle.net/P4TpQ/3/
Also: floating all wrapper descendants has a pretty good potential to bite you later on. If absolutely needed, try a direct child selector like .wrapper>*
