Display:inline; should be easy

Hi, I have created a horizontal navigation before with no problem, yet I am now having trouble.
Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/Catering/

I have the Div named "indentmenu" and the <ul class="toolbar">
Here's the style sheet: http://www.caillouette.com/Catering/style2.css
and here's the navigation: http://www.caillouette.com/Catering/header_nav.inc

what am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance.

You should use a complete doctype (one that includes a URL) to get browsers to render as close to the same as possible. I recommend HTML 4.01 Strict. A doctype is not a magic fix. It is just one step in the process of fixing your page. The doctype tells the browser which rendering mode to use for the page.

The first step in debugging should always be making sure that your code is valid.

What is ".indentmenu" for? I suggest you remove it.

Remove the display:inline from the <ul> and give it a width. Try 350px.
