alternative for inline-block for ie7

for my website, im using inline-blo开发者_开发百科ck property. it works well for mozilla and ie8 but is displayed as block elements in ie7. how can i set it right?

Have a look at this: http://foohack.com/2007/11/cross-browser-support-for-inline-block-styling/ - at this point in time, IE8 was not out yet, so I believe the author is talking about IE7.
