There is a way of forcing divs to lie in the centre using some negative
values, but I could not find a reference. What you are trying to do will
not work in the Mozilla renderer. The margin-right will be ignored. You can
either compromise and go for:
"margin-left: 50px; width: 90%;"
which in practice looks quite OK if I reside the window quite widely. Also,
consider adding two fixed-sized divs to the left and the right of your
menu. Not elegant, but does the trick

This doesn't appear to be "doing the trick" in Firefox.
