how to make a li tag horizontal while its a block

March 8, 2022

I want to make a online card game with html/css/js and i want to make a place that shows all your cards but i want them to be inline and inline-block because i need to give it a custom width and height but when i do that it doesnt work

heres the code :

var players = 
[
    {
        "id":1,
        "name":"messi",
        "price":100

    },
    {
        "id":2,
        "name":"ronaldo",
        "price":100

    }
];

for (var i = 0; i<players.length; i++){
    document.getElementById('cards').innerHTML += `<li><div class="card" style="background-image: url('images/${players[i].name}.png');background-size: 80px 110px;"><h1>${players[i].name}</h1></div></li>`;
}

.coin{
    display: inline-block;
    margin-top: 5px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 25px;
    height: 25px;
    background-color: gold;
    border-radius: 50%;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px goldenrod;
}

.xp{

>Solution :

Instead of making it inline u should make it display: flex

edit: to make cards go to next line use flex-wrap: wrap

var players = 
[
    {
        "id":1,
        "name":"messi",
        "price":100

    },
    {
        "id":2,
        "name":"ronaldo",
        "price":100

    }
];

for (var i = 0; i<players.length; i++){
    document.getElementById('cards').innerHTML += `<li><div class="card" style="background-image: url('images/${players[i].name}.png');background-size: 80px 110px;"><h1>${players[i].name}</h1></div></li>`;
