I am trying to add a width to a div, but I seem to be running into a problem because it has no content.

Here is the CSS and HTML I have so far, but it is not working:

CSS

body{
margin:0 auto;
width:1000px
}
ul{
width:800px;
}
ul li{
clear:both;
}
.test1{
width:200px;
float:left;
}

HTML

<body>
  <div id="test">
    <ul>
      <li>
        <div class="test1">width1</div>
        <div class="test1">width2</div>
        <div class="test1">width3</div>
      </li>
      <li>
        <div class="test1"></div>
        <div class="test1">width2</div>
        <div class="test1">width3</div>
      </li>
      <li>
        <div class="test1"></div>
        <div class="test1">width2</div>
        <div class="test1">width3</div>
      </li>
    </ul>
 </div>

    a div usually needs at least a non-breaking space (&nbsp;) in order to have a width.
