So I've got one page where I have an image inside a DIV with 
text-align: center and the
image is correctly centered in that block. Making me think that 
text-align will center the contents of a block.

Another page I have a series of thumbnails which are themselves a DIV 
block wrapping both an image and a caption (float: left) inside a DIV 
block with a fixed width which is smaller than the width of the browser

and that DIV block is in another DIV block that is the full width of 
the browser.

What I don't understand is why text-align doesn't center the first DIV 
block inside the second.

I know I could bring these thumbnails in via a left margin but I want 
everything to be correctly centered based on the width of the browser.
