Even though the menu has an unknown width it can still be centered by using a little css trickery. The first thing to do is put the menu inside a containg div.
Code:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<div id="menu">
  <!-- Css Menu -->
 
<ul class="cssMenu cssMenum0">
.....rest of code.....
</ul>
</div>
</body>


Then apply a couple of css rules for centering
Code:
#menu {
position:relative;
left:50%;
float:left;
}
ul.cssMenu {
position:relative;
text-align:right;
left:-50%;
}
