I am not sure if you did this previously, but as your menu is inside #nav div you should reference it that way.

The below works.

HTML Code:

<html>

<head>

	<title>oblivion template</title>

	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

	<style type="text/css">

	#nav ul li
	{
		display: inline;
		padding: 20px;
	}

	</style>

</head>

<body>

<div id="nav">
	<ul>
		<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Home</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Community </a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Support</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Games</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Download</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">Catalog</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Thanks for the... insightful post there.

What did not work? What is the code above not doing? Did you try and revise the code to do what you want?

div#nav ul li {float: left;}

The float will have to be cleared.
