@Big Moxy: Holly's suggestion is probably the correct approach to solve the problem. Give that a try and see if it centers the menu, if so, great.
@Holly: Thanks for pointing out the real problem. However, since adding negative value did solve the problem, at least in my testing of IE7, obviously the padding property does take negative values. Now, that may not be the way it's supposed to be done, and it very well may be "invalid CSS". However, I'm not very concerned that my CSS pass a "validity test." I've never been concerned about being able to place a Valid CSS logo on any of my sites and probably never will. (They clash anyway and look terrible.) That said, I know that it's important to some that their CSS pass the validity test, however, that doesn't mean it's important to everyone. If the CSS doesn't display properly, then it's truly invalid. But, if the CSS works on the screen, that's the true test of validity. And don't get me wrong, I'm glad to know that list-style-position:inside was wrong for the situation and, thus, causing the problem. However, another solution isn't wrong simply because a test declares it so. Only a user's screen does that in the end.
