Answer 1

You can try floating the li elements:

#ul_text li {
  border-right: 1px solid #ffffff; 
  width:260px; 
  float: left;
}

or adding: list-style-type: none; as well as switching display: inline to the li element, as suggested already.

#ul_text li {
  border-right: 1px solid #ffffff; 
  width:260px; 
  display: inline; 
  list-style-type: none;
}

Answer 2

You need to put display: inline on your li instead of the ul, like so:

#ul_text {
  list-style-type: none;
}

#ul_text li {
  border-right: 1px solid #ffffff; 
  width:260px; 
  display:inline;
}

<li><a href="#">Item three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item four</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item five</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 20px;
