centering

I'm trying to centre the content of a div such that the display is correct in IE 5,6,7 and 8, as well as FF.

<div id="YoutubeClip">
    <h3>Subscribe on YouTube!</h3><br>
    <ul class="gallery clearfix"><a href="http://www.someyoutubevideo.com" rel="prettyPhoto" title="Some youtube title"><img alt="some youtube title" src="youtube clip image" border="0"></a></ul>
    Some youtube title
</div>

As expected, this displays the image and the text centered in FF.

In IE5, the image is left justified. The text is also left justified, with only one word on a line.

It appears like this.

IE 6 has the same problem as above.

IE 7 appears to have the same problem, but when I put a border around the div, the content overflows the border.

The display appears correct in IE8

Any help into this would be great. I'm trying to learn CSS better and I haven't been able to figure out the intricacies of this issue yet.
