[html] Why can't I center with margin: 0 auto?

I don't know why the first answer is the best one, I tried it and not working in fact, as @kalys.osmonov said, you can give text-align:center to header, but you have to make ul as inline-block rather than inline, and also you have to notice that text-align can be inherited which is not good to some degree, so the better way (not working below IE 9) is using margin and transform. Just remove float right and margin;0 auto from ul, like below:

#header ul {
   /* float: right; */
   /* margin: 0 auto; */
   display: inline-block;
   margin-left: 50%; /* From parent width */
   transform: translateX(-50%); /* use self width which can be unknown */
  -ms-transform: translateX(-50%); /* For IE9 */
}

This way can fix the problem that making dynamic width of ul center if you don't care IE8 etc.
