    Is this similar to what you are trying to accomplish?

    http://jsfiddle.net/ha7fK/1/

    I changed the width to 300px for the demo at jsfiddle. Just change 300px to 900px

    HTML

     <body>
  <div class="width900">
   Width of 900px
  </div>

  <div class="widthfull">
      <div class="text">
        Width of 100%
      </div>    
  </div>

  <div class="width900">
   Width of 900px
  </div>
</body>​

    CSS

     body {width:100%;}
.width900 {width:300px; background:#ccc; margin:auto;}
.widthfull {width:100%; background:#eee; margin:auto;}
.widthfull .text {width:300px; margin:auto;}
