If you do not want to change your HTML structure you can also do by adding text-align: center; to the wrapper element and a display: inline-block; to the centered element.

#container {
    width:100%;
    text-align:center;
}

#left {
    float:left;
    width:100px;
}

#center {
    display: inline-block;
    margin:0 auto;
    width:100px;
}

#right {
    float:right;
    width:100px;
}
