ul list of 2 items to show next to each other

I am certain for the Guru's this is one of the easiest questions, but I am kinda new to the CSS and I am running out of ideas.

 

In a template I purchased for Joomla, I need to change the CSS for one particular place in order to show 2 items which are pulled from an ul List next to each other (horizontal) instead of below each other.

 

I got the buttons removed already, but for the love of g... I can not get them to show next to each other ...

 

That is How it looks at the moment:

 

ENGLISH

DEUTSCH

 

And that is how it shall look:

 

ENGLISH DEUTSCH

 

 

That is what I have so far:

 

#banner-top ul {list-style: none;padding: 0;margin: 0;display: block;white-space: nowrap;text-transform: uppercase;position: relative;left: 800px;}

 

Pleeeease somebody help me and tell me what is missing...

Thanks Benjamin for the quick reply...

 

Tried what you said with the float left, but the two items are still written below each other...

 

I do not have to use the display: block ...

 

Just read this somewhere and tried it... actually basically when I take that out completely it still looks the same than with it ...

 

So if I use it with or without the display and float it still looks the same...

 

Here now the revised code:

 

#banner-top ul {list-style: none;padding: 0;margin: 0;white-space: nowrap;text-transform: uppercase;position: relative;left: 800px;}

 

Really a newbie here...

 

Thanks

OK, well try finding these two items in your style sheets:

 

 

 

Thats the div that your language selection lives in. Its a child div of #banner-top.

Add Ben's suggestion to #jflanguageselection in your CSS and I think you'll get some results.

Hey Ben:

 

Nearly there , I hope...

 

I added the information you said and it looks great in IE7, but in Firefox 3.0 it screws up the whole top section ....

 

That is what I have there now in the CSS:

 

#banner-top ul {list-style: none;padding: 0;margin: 0;display: block;white-space: nowrap;text-transform: uppercase;position: relative;left: 800px;}

.jflanguageselection li { float:left; }

 

Thanks for all your help...

Ben :

 

You are the MASTER, thanks a million... now it looks 99% like it should be...

 

I just now have the tiny problem when I used the

 

position: relative;left: 800px;

 

it is in the right location, but I have Scrollbars galore in IE7 and FF3 ....

 

So, how do I position this now to the right instead of to the left, without the stupid scrollbars??

 

Thanks again, you got me already far further than I ever was ...
