I'm fairly new to html and css.
I learned the basics and a few advanced techniques but, i have been having a problem with lists for a long time and would like to know how i could possibly fix my problem.
Here's the idea.
I'm making an online shop but i want to avoid positioning every single images,texts,links using a different id.
I had this idea, I would put my li inside a div so that way, everything inside my list would be stuck inside this box, make a class positioning my text,links,images properly, use display:inline and et voila, i can create an entire page of products using only a class.
The problem is display:inline isn't working.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out on this one.
This is a bad example but, you understand the principle.
