CSS set div container to fit body width not window width

Question

Hi I have some html that looks like this:

<div id="wrapper" style="background-color: red;">

    <div style="margin: 0px auto; width: 960px;">

        Text here...

    </div>

</div>

The wrapper-div doesn't fit the <body>, when I resize the browser window to be lower than 960px, the wrapper gets as small as the browser window size. I want to get the wrapper at least as wide as the content inside it. I really have a hard time figuring this one out. Any suggestions?

Are inside element size known already? Like something mentioned by you as 960px? — Bikas, Feb 28 '14 at 09:18
