I’ve found this way to deal with single-line full-width ul where an undefined number of li elements need to be spaced out evenly:
ul {
width: 100%;
display: table;
table-layout: fixed; /* optional */
}
ul li {
display: table-cell;
width: auto;
text-align: center;
}
Basically, it emulates a table. Works in Gecko, Webkit, IE8+.
For IE7 and downwards you should use some inline-block hackery 🙂
