Well there could be any number of things going on here. Which browser(s) did you test? IE does not adhere to the standards as well as others generally do. Plus, dreamweaver could be displaying it incorrectly - I've neevr relied upon a WYSIWYG editor.

Also, where is the list located? Is it within a table cell or div or what?

Adding style="text-align:center;" inside the list opening tag works for me.
