How can I center <ul> <li> into a div?

How can I center an unordered list of <li> into a fixed-width div?

<table width="100%">
  <tbody>
  <tr>
    <td width="41%"><img src="/web/20100104192317im_/http://www.studioteknik.com/html2/html/images/hors-service.jpg" width="400" height="424"></td>
    <td width="59%"><p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
      <h1 align="left">StudioTeknik.com</h1>
      <p><br align="left">
        <strong>Marc-André Ménard</strong></p>
      <ul>
        <li>Photographie digitale</li>
        <li>Infographie </li>
        <li>Débug et IT (MAC et PC)</li>
        <li> Retouche </li>
        <li>Site internet</li>
        <li>Graphisme</li>
      </ul>
      <p align="left"><span class="style1"><strong>Cellulaire en suisse : </strong></span><a href="#">+41 079 573 48 99</a></p>
      <p align="left"><strong class="style1">Skype : </strong> <a href="#">menardmam</a></p>
    <p align="left"><strong class="style1">Courriel :</strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100104192317/mailto:[email protected]">    [email protected]</a></p></td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

To center the ul and also have the li elements centered in it as well, and make the width of the ul change dynamically, use display: inline-block; and wrap it in a centered div.

<style type="text/css">
    .wrapper {
        text-align: center;
    }
    .wrapper ul {
        display: inline-block;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        /* For IE, the outcast */
        zoom:1;
        *display: inline;
    }
    .wrapper li {
        float: left;
        padding: 2px 5px;
        border: 1px solid black;
    }
</style>

<div class="wrapper">
    <ul>
        <li>Three</li>
        <li>Blind</li>
        <li>Mice</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Update

Here is a jsFiddle link to the code above.


Since ul and li elements are display: block by default — give them auto margins and a width that is smaller than their container.

ul {
    width: 70%;
    margin: auto;
}

If you've changed their display property, or done something that overrides normal alignment rules (such as floating them) then this won't work.
