Question

this has been trying my patience for about an hour so I thought I would ask.

I need to have three divs, centered inside another div that is inside another div lol. Here is what the code I have looks like.

HTML

<div id="frontnav">
   <div id="front1" class="frontboxes">
      <h2>Gold</h2>
   </div>
   <div id="front2" class="frontboxes">
      <h2>Green</h2>
   </div>
   <div id="front3" class="frontboxes">
      <h2>Blue</h2>
   </div>
</div>

CSS

/*  FRONT PAGE BOXES */

#frontnav {
    width: 90%;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    height: 300px;
    transition: all 2s;
    -moz-transition: all 2s;
 /* Firefox 4 */
    -webkit-transition: all 2s;
 /* Safari and Chrome */
    -o-transition: all 2s;
 /* Opera */;
}

#front1 {
    text-align: center;
    float: left;
    height: 200px;
    width: 30%;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 19px #615D69;
}

#front2 {
    text-align: center;
    float: left;
    height: 200px;
    width: 30%;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 19px #615D69;
}

#front3 {
    text-align: center;
    float: left;
    height: 200px;
    width: 30%;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 19px #615D69;
}

.frontboxes {
    margin: 6px;
}
