How make text before ul to come in single line in html?

Question

I am using jquery li scroll plugin in my site for creating news ticker and this jqueryli scroll plugin needs your news to be in <li> tag and this plugin works fine for me but the problem is that I want to put text before news ticker.

I want output like NEWS FEED : actual news

currently I have achieved "actual news" and when I tried to put NEWS FEED label in fron of ticker it gives my problem.

The problem is that when I put NEWS FEED label in front of ticker, the ticker news goes to the next line and I get out out as :

 NEWS FEED :

                                       "actual news "

I have used code :

<div>NEWS FEED
   <ul id="ticker01">
   <?php foreach ($news_array as $single_news) : ?>
   <li><span><?php echo $single_news; ?><span></li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>
<div>

How I can achieve NEWS FEED label and news ticker in single line ?

I have edited css as follows:

.tickercontainer { /* the outer div with the black border */


width: 850px; 
height: 32px; 
margin-left: 100px; 
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden; 
}
.tickercontainer .mask { /* that serves as a mask. so you get a sort of padding both left and right */
position: relative;
left: 10px;
top: 8px;
width: 718px;
}
ul.newsticker { /* that's your list */
position: relative;
left: 750px;
font: bold 10px Verdana;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

}
ul.newsticker li {
float: left; /* important: display inline gives incorrect results when you check for elem's width */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #fff;
}
ul.newsticker a {
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 0;
color: #ff0000;
font: bold 10px Verdana;
margin: 0 50px 0 0;
} 
ul.newsticker span {
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 0;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
font-size: 16px;
color: #ff0000;
margin: 0 50px 0 0;
}

display: inline is the way to go about it. li elements are block type by default. More here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display
