Catch 22 with float left & center horizontally

Hi. I am using DIVs for lay outs rather than tables but cannot resolve a
catch 22. I need to use the float: left so that I can get DIVs to line up in
rows however, float : left does not respect the text-align : horizontal of
its parent container. Therefore its impossible to center DIVs that you need
to position horizontally. Therefore I cannot see any other way of doing this
other than using tables.

Is there a workaround?
