Displaying items side by side (inline-block)

I am trying to get items (li) in UL to display inline-block

  • I would like the the items (li's) to have a width as a percentages so they become smaller as the page becomes smaller.. Is this the correct approach and how would i go about achieving this? Also, how would i go about spacing the li's in the middle as they are stuck together?

A JSfidddle of the code: https://jsfiddle.net/kL7dxv3s/

Thanks

You might be better off floating them left depending on what you are trying to do, but have you tried playing with

li {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 10%;
}

Where 10% is the value you want to adjust?
