I’m working on a project and I’m attempting to style a specific link type in the same way as Adi Palaz uses here to define external links. I have my code set up the same as his but for some reason display: inline-block is overflowing the containing <li> element (which has a defined width) so that the list elements stack 2 side-by-side.
Can someone tell me how to go about forcing the link “The Mountain and the Mole Hill” at bottom of this demo, development page (http://dreamstarstudios.net/sandbox/philosimply/sliding_drawer.html) to break lines? I thought inline-block was expressly for the purpose of have text that is displayed as a block level element yet still breaks lines. The even stranger thing is that changing it to display: inline doesn’t force a line break but rather just causes the text to overflow the defined width 🙁
EDIT My apologies for not explaining further. If you look at this link (http://www.adipalaz.com/linksbg.html) you will see how this developer used white-space: nowrap (which is needed) to achieve the desired effect I’m going for. What I really need to know is why it is working for him but not me.
Just remove
