I have a list menu which is supposed to be horizontal and centered. Not

right? Wrong. There are three problems.
1. IE7 doesn't use display: inline very well when text is enlarged or
made smaller.
(just try it and see the mess it creates) 2. The width cannnot be set
because the
number of items changes on a regular basis without warning.
3. Float combined with margin: 0 auto doesn't work because the width of
the ul is
always 100% and can't be set smaller because of the reason given above.
This is creating a huge problem because I can't center lists without
setting a width.
Is there a way of getting around this in IE7? Is there a javascript or
PHP script which
can detect the width of something so I can put that in to the css? Or
just fix the
problem?
The CSS-discuss Wiki has some ideas[1]. Scroll down to the section
"When you don't know the width".
