I'm trying to design a website where everything is contained withing one main div that restricts everything to 85% of the screen width. I am trying to center the outer div, which seems to have worked, and make the inner div (menubar) float to the left. But no matter what I do I can't get it to go to the left of the outer div, it goes all the way to the left of the page. Thanks for any help.
