CSS positioning - floating left and centered issue
I'm sure this is a basic question to those of you who work in HTML and CSS regularly.
I have two pieces of text, both need to appear on the SAME line - one needs to be left aligned, and the other needs to be centered, regardless of how much text is in the left-aligned block (obviously while the length of the left-aligned text does not extend over the halfway mark).
To make this easier to understand and test, I have included a sample. In my sample, I have what I need, but on 2 lines instead of the same line.
Please repost the working sample if you find a solution.
Thanks.

body {background-color: #E6E6E6;}
#reference {width: 100%;
border: solid 1px navy;}
#half1 {width: 50%;
text-align: right;
border-right: dotted 1px navy}
#container {width: 100%;
text-align: center;
border: solid 1px navy;}
#floatLeft {float:left;
border: dotted 1px green;
background-color: #D0F5A9;}
#centered {width: 100%;
border: dotted 1px red;

<div id="reference">
<div id="half1">Middle of container --> </div>
<div id="half2"></div>
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="centered">This text should be centered
<div id="floatLeft">This text should be left aligned</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
<div style="text-align:center;position:relative">
Centered
<div style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0">Left</div>
</div>
Y. Shoham's solution works. Here's another, which handles wrapping content more gracefully (does not allow overlap between center and left section), but which requires changing the order of items in the markup:
<div style="text-align: center; overflow: auto;">
<div style="float: left; text-align: left;">left</div>
centered
</div>
(The text-align: left
may not make a difference, eg if there's no width specified and nothing inside has an inherent width, like an image.)
