How to center 3 divs in the middle of the page

Issue

Hi I want to center 3 divs to the middle of the page, I have each of them floating left so that they are side by side however I want these to be central to the page.

I have them in wrappers with a width of 100% and have tried to use margin:0px auto in order to center this this doesn't work but width:100% or width:auto, however if I specify a width this seems to center however I don't want to specify a width to my wrapper I want it to be the size of the page.

I'm not entirely sure in regards to what I've done wrong. So any input and a fresh pair of eyes would be fantastic!

My code is below or you can view a jsFiddle

  </footer>
</div>

Solution

Change the .topWrapper div to have a text-align:center rule, then remove the float:left from those three divs (.left, .center, and .right) and replace them with display:inline-block.

jsFiddle example

.topWrapper {
    width:100%;
    text-align:center;
}
.left {
    width:200px;
    height:200px;
    background-color:red;
    display:inline-block;
    margin-right:20px;
}
.center {
    width:200px;
    height:200px;
    display:inline-block;
    background-color:blue;
    margin-right:20px;
}
.right {
    width:200px;
    height:200px;
    background-color:black;
    display:inline-block;
    margin-right:20px;
}
