// =========================== //
// = Centered Content Blocks = //
// =========================== //

// For designs that involve a centered column of fixed with, I've found that
// for great browser compatability, it's useful to separate page elements
// into discreet horizontal chunks when possible. These two classes help.
//
// example:
// <div class="wrapOut">
//   <div class="wrapIn">
//     header content here
//   </div>
// </div>
// <div class="wrapOut">
//   <div class="wrapIn">
//     your main content goes here
//   </div>
// </div>

// set the width of your body column
@contentWidth: 960px;

html{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  min-width: @contentWidth; // set so that browsers resized smaller do not change column content
}

body{
  position: relative; // to enable correct absolute positioning
}

.wrapOut{
  width: 100%;
  .floatClear;
  min-width: @contentWidth;
}

.wrapIn{
  width: @contentWidth;
  margin: 0 auto;
}


// ====================================================== //
// = Horizontal Centering for Objects of Variable Width = //
// ====================================================== //

// example:
//<div class="outer">
//  <div class="inner">The amount of text in this div can change, and it would still be centered</div>
//</div>

// It's worth noting that since .outer is positioned in the middle, it could protrude relatively
// far off to the right depending on the width of the object being centered. I usually set
// .outer's parent to overflow: hidden to make sure this doesn't affect the layout.

.outer{
  .floatClear;
  position: relative;
  left: 50%;
}

.inner{
  position: relative;
  left: -50%;
}

  @defaultEnd: @buttonColor;
