Display the footer images(twitter+fb) inline as Nick

The footer images are not displaying inline, even if I tried the property display:inline-block. THey are instead display in a vertical line.

Html code:

<footer> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter" class="social-icon"></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook" class="social-icon" > </a></li>

</ul>

</footer>

CSS: footer{ font-size:0.75em; text-align: center; clear: both; padding-top: 50px; color: #ccc; }

.social-icon { width:20px; height:20px; margin: 0 5px; display: inline-block; }

The reason the images are displaying vertically is because they are inside

<li></li>

elements which by default will display vertically stacked. Add the display:inline-block to the

<li></li>

elements instead of the .social-icon element and that will get the images to display horizontally.

You could also use float:left instead of display:inline-block.
