Using a Conditional Comment for IE7, you could try:

#myList
{float:left;position:relative;margin-left:expression(-this.offsetWidth/2);le
ft:50%;}

Then you'll need to clear that float.

As a side note, CSS expressions are bad and should be avoided.

Re: [WSG] Centered Horizontal List in IE7

Perhaps try it without using the list. Center the links within a div and
apply left and right padding to them to ensure adequate spacing. Menu should
stay centered and will cater for changing number of menu items.
