How to make a display in a horizontal row

by

List items are normally block elements. Turn them into inline elements via the display property.

In the code you gave, you need to use a context selector to make the display: inline property apply to the list items, instead of the list itself (applying display: inline to the overall list will have no effect):

#ul_top_hypers li {
    display: inline;
}

Here is the working example:

#div_top_hypers {
    background-color:#eeeeee;
    display:inline;      
}
#ul_top_hypers li{
    display: inline;
}
<div id="div_top_hypers">
    <ul id="ul_top_hypers">
        <li>&#8227; <a href="" class="a_top_hypers"> Inbox</a></li>
        <li>&#8227; <a href="" class="a_top_hypers"> Compose</a></li>
        <li>&#8227; <a href="" class="a_top_hypers"> Reports</a></li>
        <li>&#8227; <a href="" class="a_top_hypers"> Preferences</a></li>
        <li>&#8227; <a href="" class="a_top_hypers"> logout</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
