Greetings,

I am using a list to layout three images horizontally along the bottom of
a content column.  The content column is fluid, set to 70%.  I would like,
if possible, to have my <ul> stay centered within the liquid content
column as the window is resized, and at the same time, have each <li>
contained with in the <ul> to remain evenly spaced horizontally.

Theoretically, how I though it would work:

Center the <ul> with margin: 0 auto; and text-align: center; for IE; then
set each <li> to width: 33%, (there are three images in this example) and
then center the images with in each <li> through margin: 0 auto; and
text-align: center again.

Here is the basic markup and general styles:

<!--HTML-->
<ul id="content-images">
  <li><img src="i/content-img-polar.jpg" width="140" height="140" /></li>
  <li><img src="i/content-img-boards.jpg" width="140" height="140" /></li>
  <li><img src="i/content-img-adidas.jpg" width="140" height="140" /></li>
</ul>

/* CSS */

#content-images {
        margin: 0 auto;
        text-align: center;
        padding: 0;
        width: 100%;
        display: inline;
        float: left;
        }
#content-images li {
        margin: 0 auto;
        display: inline;
        width: 33%;
        padding: 0;
        float: left;
        }
#content-images li img {
        display: block;
        margin: 0 auto;
        text-align: center
        width: 140px;
        float: left;
        }

Does anyone have an example of centering items horizontally with in a
liquid width column?  I read over the Wiki, (and endless Google results)
but the details on centering multiple items in a liquid container were not
too great.

Using a list seemed to make the most sense, but I am open to other
suggestions.

I need this to work in as many browsers as possible, preferably all
flavors of IE 5+ (Mac OS X and PC) and then Mozilla, Gecko, etc.

Thanks,

Jono
