css - Make centered DIV inside wide DIV expand with content width -

-

i'm using 2 divs, parent , child. parent has width of 100% , contents text-align'ed center.

the child div should have width of 0 (or close it) , expand width automatically contents, while still being centered in parent div. example:

+------------ parent div ------------+ |                                    | |          ..some content..          | |                                    | |           +--child div--+          | |           |inside child |          | |           +-------------+          | |                                    | +------------------------------------+  +------------ parent div ------------+ |                                    | |          ..some content..          | |                                    | |      +------ child div ------+     | |      |inside child more |     | |      +-----------------------+     | |                                    | +------------------------------------+

if put fixed width child div, can center correctly:

.parent {     width: 100%; } .child {     width: 100px;     margin-left: auto;     margin-right: auto; }

but not need, need child div expand width according content. tried using float , nowrap:

.parent {     width: 100%; } .child {     float: left;     white-space: nowrap;     margin-left: auto;     margin-right: auto; }

that works child itself, no longer centered content of parent.

i can solve using javascript, prefere not to.

i've been looking around similar questions in haven't find 1 answers situation exactly.

can please throw me light?

thanks in advance comments.

you can use display: inline-block; (not supported in < ie7) must enclose other content in block level element (like <p> or <div>)

.parent {     width: 100%;     text-align: center;         border: 1px solid #000; } .child {     display: inline-block;         border: 1px solid #f00; }

(click red bordered div add more content , see solution in effect.)

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2
