I have a max-width em based container for my layout. Within it I have many floated fixed width boxes, at 230px to be exact.
At the max-width the container will expand to 90em's. This fit's 6 boxes per line perfectly. As the window sizes down and boxes are bumped to lower rows it leaves an ugly gap with the navigation above. I would like to force the container of the boxes to center them at all times.
To illustrate:
At full width: http://cl.ly/7393a462f44b8315aaba
At smaller width: http://cl.ly/ff48a18d39c4f57c3513
How I would like smaller width to work: http://cl.ly/ae9c3fd04df515253b2d (Photoshoped)
My markup looks like this:
Biodesign

My CSS, is:
div#bricks {
margin:0 auto;
background:red;
width:100%;
}
div.brick {
background:#181c21;
width:230px;
margin:0 5px 10px 5px;
position:relative;
float:left;
}
div.brick img {
background:#666;
max-width:230px;
}
The #bricks is inside a #main, which looks like:
div#main {
margin:0 auto;
padding:0 50px;
position:relative;
max-width:90em;
}
Would love some ideas!
