Here’s what I am looking to create. The dollar amounts are linked to a form submit by jQuery.

Here’s what I’ve got so far:
<div class="donate_left_column">
<p>You can be the autemped lorem ipsum quisciis alic to dolupidebis consed deo vellor quam quam re:</p>
<div class="donate_amounttable">
<ul>
<li><a class="donate_click" id="100" href="#">$100</a>provides 20 new novels for a college prep language arts class.</li>
<li><a class="donate_click" id="200" href="#">$200</a>provides 1 week of childcare for a parent starting a new job.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Styles:
.donate_amounttable
{
}
.donate_amounttable ul
{
display: inline;
}
.donate_amounttable li
{
display: inline;
font-size: 14px;
color: #000;
padding-bottom: 6px;
}
.donate_amounttable a
{
display: block;
font-family: din-condensed-web,sans-serif;
background-color: #bfd475;
padding: 6px;
width: 50px;
font-size: 24px;
color: #fff;
text-align: right;
float: left;
clear: left;
}
The problem is that it ends up looking like this:
