How do I create a list of horizontal items?

I'm trying to create a list of horizontal items so they can be used as navigation. But for some reason, setting display to inline is not working. I have also tried setting display to inline-block with no results. Any suggestions?

CSS

#page {
    margin-top: 2em;
    background: #00000
}

#pageborder {
    background-color: white;
    margin-left: 150px;
    margin-right: 150px;
}

body, html {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    background-color: #EEEEEE;
    height: 100%;
    font-family:"Monospace", Lucida Console;
    font-size: 16;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 28pt;
}

h2 {
    margin:0;
    padding-bottom: 7px;
    font-size: 22;
}

p {
    margin-bottom:0px;
    padding-bottom:0px;
}

#header {
    height:50px;
    background-color: none;
    border-color: #E7E7E7;
    font-size: 28pt;
    color: white;
    padding-top: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    margin-top: 108px;
}

#content {
    position: left;
    color: #5E5849;
    background-color: white;
    border: 2px solid;
    border-color: #EEEEEE;
    text-align: left;
    padding: 1em 2em 4em;
    margin-left: 20px;
    margin-right: 322px;
}

#sidebar {
    float:right;
    margin-right: 180px;
    position: absolute;
    top:;
    right:0;
    text-align: left;
    width: 250px;
    border: 2px solid;
    border-color: #EEEEEE;
    padding-top: 8px;
    padding-left: 40px;
}

#twitter {
    display: inline;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    margin-right: 20px;
}

#youtube {
    display: inline;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    margin-right: 20px;
}

#google {
    display: inline;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    margin-right: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 2px;
}


#justin {
    display: inline;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    margin-right: 20px;
}

#Social {
    border-bottom: solid thin grey;
    padding-bottom: 7px;
    font-size: 15px;
    margin-top: 10px;
}

#profilepic {
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

* {
    margin: 0;
}

.footer {
    margin-left: 100px;
    height: 2em;
    color: white;
    clear: both;
    background-color: black;
}

th {
    text-align: left;
    padding-right: 2em;
}

#nav {
    width:100%;
    height:30px;
    background-color:#999;
}

#nav ul {
    display: inline-block;
    list-style-type: none;
    height:150px;
    color: red;
    padding-left: 150px;
}

#nav ul li {
    display:inline;
}

#nav ul{
display: inline-block;
list-style-type: none;
height:150px;
color: red;
***padding-left: 150px;***}

I think here you did mistake; Remove padding for ul, might b it'll work

Although your css does not include such a property, make sure your li elements don't clear (i.e. clear:left / clear:right / clear:both)

To double check, add this into your css (using !important is bad, only use it for testing)

#nav ul li{
    clear: none !important;
}

try adding floating too to see if you manage to get your elements to appear on the same line. If you still have no luck, there is definitely something wrong with your setup that's not apparent from the code you pasted.

Works using:

<html>
  <head>
    <style type="text/css">
      #nav{
        width:100%;
        height:30px;
        background-color:#999;
      }

      #nav ul{
        height:150px;
        color: red;
        padding-left: 150px;
      }

      #nav ul li{
        display:inline;
        list-style-type: none;}
    </style>
   </head>

   <div id="nav">
   <ul>
      <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="about">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="links">Links</a></li>
   </ul>
  </div>
</html>

Try refreshing your browser using Ctrl+F5 - it may have cached some results that didn't work.

works well for me. Do you have some other css rules that could conflict with these ones? You could check which styles are applied to your "li" with the chrome developper console, maybe.

By the way, "list-style-type" is meant to be used with "ul" or ol", not with "li".
