Newbie: removing space in CSS menu using li in inline display

[Kayote]

Hi All,

Im new to CSS and have a set target of learning & publishing my website in CSS by the end of the month. It looks so simple and friendly yet now that Im trying to write the code (Im not a programming but an accountant by profession), it looks deceptively complicated.

My question:

Im trying to build a CSS horizontal menu with hover drop downs, however, when I use the ‘display: inline’ property with li (list) items, I get spaces between the li (list) items in the bar. How do I remove this space?

Body

#tabas_menu {

position: absolute;

background: rgb(123,345,567);

top: 110px;

left: 200px;

}



ul#tabas_menu {

padding: 0;

margin: 0;

}



.tabBut {

display: inline;

white-space:

list-style: none;

background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(rgba(255,142,190,1)),to(rgba(188,22,93,1)));

background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,142,190,1), rgba(188,22,93,1));

font-family: helvetica, calibri, sans-serif;

font-size: 16px;

font-weight: bold;

line-height: 20px;

text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(99,99,99,0.5);

-moz-border-radius: 0.3em;

-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);

-webkit-border-radius: 0.3em;

-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);

padding: 6px 18px;

border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.4);

margin: 0;

}

I did manage to remove the space by using the ‘float: left’ property but would love to find out how to get the same effect using the display: inline property. Many thanks
