how to align horizontal list inside div?
i am trying to center my horizontal <ul> inside a <div> (the yellow stripe in my example). the markup is below. i know that if <li> were not floated then i could do it by setting left and right margins on <ul> to "auto", but i do not seem to find a way to get rid of "float" because i need my <li> be block elements so that i could size them. please help! thanks konstantin

Demo posted, on OP's behalf, at: jsbin.
is a block level element, and so takes up the entire width of container... also text-align is for aligning text. You could do something like:
.container ul{
width:400px;
margin:0px auto
}
Try this, works on firefox and chrome

Not sure how to answer your question because I can't even see the yellow stripe in FF 3.6.8
but have a look at this http://www.cssplay.co.uk/boxes/ - there are many options and it might help you out.
