Center my navbar

So what I'm trying to do is have my navbar automatically center to anything that's in it.

What I want is:

What I've been having problems with is that the button can have different width (because it's a button where your username is displayed) and this moves the search bar I have making it not centered.

Here's my current code:

<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
  <div class="navbar-inner">
    <div class="container">
      <a class="brand" href="#"><img src="./assets/img/test_logo.png" /></a>
        <div class="nav-collapse collapse">
          <div class="span4 offset1">
            <form class="navbar-form pull-right">
              <div class="input-append">
                <input class="span4" id="appendedInputButton" type="text" placeholder="Search...">
                <button class="btn" type="button"><i class="icon-search"></i></button>
              </div>
            </form>
          </div>
          <ul class="nav pull-right">
            <a class="button btn-active" href="" style="margin-top:5px" ><span><i class="icon-user"></i> Sign In</span></a>
          </ul>
        </div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Note: The width of the navbar should be 883px. The rest of the CSS should be Bootstrap's default.

Please help!

you could float the elements, adjust the width. like in this example http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/smWBZ/

.logo {
    float:left;
}

It should work as you've described, but that isn't what your code reflects.

Add pull-left to the <a> with the logo so it floats left. Get rid of pull-right from the <form> so it's not floating. Make sure both floating elements (the <a> and <ul> are defined before the <form>).
