You can position them absolutely and then use CSS3 transforms to drag them back into place.

JSfiddle Demo

CSS

#container {
    height: 300px;
    width: 300px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left:50%;
    -webkit-transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
    transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
    background-color: #663399;
}
#content {
    height: 400px;
    width: 400px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left:50%;
    -webkit-transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
    transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
    background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.5);
}
