Category post count on one line

I was able to get it to do that in Firefox by adding

#subcontent ul.categories li a {display: inline;}

in the subcontent list section.

Should work for IE as well, at least. Don’t know about Safari.

That fixed it ?? Thx very much

Searched ALL of the psots I could find on this topic and this one seems to make the most sense, but it’s still not working properly.

I have this: wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hide_empty=0’ properly in place and I get a number all right but it’s on the line below instead of right next to, the category name.

As to adding this: #subcontent ul.categories li a {display: inline;} to the css file, well I don’t seem to have a subcontent section. (I made one—I think!—and added this line but nothing.)

Here’s my css file, anybody offer any help?

I found a workable solution

if ( isset($show_count) && $show_count )
$link .= ‘<span>(‘ . intval($category->category_count) . ‘)</span>’;

this puts a < span > tag around the count then for CSS i used this

position: relative;
float: right;
top: ;
left: ;
