How can I set all images in one line

Apply display:inline to your lis.

and display only the first 200px of them inside the div?

Apply width:200px and overflow:hidden to your div.

Answer 2

Your div width is to short - if you know you image sizes and quantities up front, just fix the div width to fit.

If you want a 200px div with horizontal scrolling, then add 'display:inline' to your list items, and 'overflow:auto' and 'white-space:nowrap' to the div.

If you don't know sizes and/or quantities up front, but you want the list to expand on a single line no matter what, then you may need to use a table.
