I’m implementing pagination, and it needs to be centered. The problem is that the links need to be displayed as block, so they need to be floated. But then, text-align: center; doesn’t work on them. I could achieve it by giving the wrapper div padding of left, but every page will have a different number of pages, so that wouldn’t work. Here’s my code:

.pagination {
  text-align: center;
}
.pagination a {
  display: block;
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
  float: left;
  margin-left: 3px;
  background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
.pagination a.last {
  width: 90px;
  background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
}
.pagination a.first {
  width: 60px;
  background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
}
<div class="pagination">
  <a class="first" href="#">First</a>
  <a href="#">1</a>
  <a href="#">2</a>
  <a href="#">3</a>
  <a class="last" href="#">Last</a>
</div>
<!-- end: .pagination -->

To get the idea, what I want:
