Why does white-space nowrap have no effect on LI's in Internet Explorer?

I would like all my LI's to display on the same line, so I set each LI's display property to inline-block and set white-s开发者_开发技巧pace = nowrap on the parent UL. I get the expected non-wrapping behaviour in FireFox and Chrome, but IE8 ignores the nowrap and displays the items on underneath the other.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Here is the HTML and CSS...

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css"> 
            li
            {
                display: inline-block;
                list-style: none outside none;
                padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
                white-space: nowrap;
            }
            ul
            {
                white-space: nowrap;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div style="float: left; width: 300px;">
            <ul>
                <li>
                    Menu 1
                </li>
                <li>
                    Menu Menu Menu 2
                </li>
                <li>
                    Menu 3
                </li>
                <li>
                    Menu 4
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>


If you want your elements to display one next to the other, try removing the -block of your display property.

Set it as follow :

display: inline;


When using lists for menus:

  • Other than float:left (for horizontal menus) never put any styling on the LI
  • Put all styles on the A tag and use display:block
  • use a reset for your list:

    .menu ul, .menu li { list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0 }

Menu HTML should look like this:

<div class="menu">
    <ul>
        <li>
             <a href="...">Menu 1</a>
         </li>
    ...
    </ul>
</div>

See my tutorial, I love lists.


a doctype should also help. otherwise you are working with IE in quirks mode. don't expect it to show your css correctly then.
