Question

I have the following links :
<div class="links">
Home
About Me
Contacts<span></span>
Contact Author
<div class="link">
</div>
</div>
with this css file:
.links {
height: 50px;
display: inline;
text-align: center;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 170px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-top: 7px;
border: none;
line-height: 25px;
}
.links a {
background: #ffffff; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%, #f6f6f6 47%, #ededed 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#ffffff), color-stop(47%,#f6f6f6), color-stop(100%,#ededed)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#f6f6f6 47%,#ededed 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#f6f6f6 47%,#ededed 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#f6f6f6 47%,#ededed 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #ffffff 0%,#f6f6f6 47%,#ededed 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#ededed',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
color: black;
font-family: Calibri;
font-size: 13px;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 2px 10px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.links a span {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 3px solid transparent;
border-right: 3px solid transparent;
border-top: 3px solid #555;
display: inline-block;
margin: 2px 7px;
}
I want the links to show in one line ie: [home] [contacts] [link3] etc
but currently its showing on seperate lines like:
[home][contacts]
[link3]
How can I get them on one line?

Answer 1

You've got display: block assigned to your <a> tags. That will put each one on their own line. Remove that, and they'll be on the same line.
