I'm trying to make a horizontal menu/list. It has a mix of independent buttons and buttons that are wrapped in their own individual forms.

With much hacking I got all of the buttons, in forms and not in forms to align horizontally.

I haven't been able to get the whole thing to center on the page though.

Could someone point out to me what I am not seeing?
