CSS : <ul> object placement, list horizontal instead of vertical - solved!!!

[Vaupell]

Found a great piece of code, i wanted to reuse
and was working on it, but i need to move the links
in two rows,
as if in a table..

as this :

<tr><td>link1</td><td>link2</td><td>link3</td><td>link4</td></tr>
<tr><td>link5</td><td>link6</td><td>link7</td><td>link8</td></tr>

But i cant make it line up like that, it only wants to list vertical..

code ive found is here : http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/#
about 85% down the page, you will notice the blue menu.

i have the excakt same code, with minor styling changes, such as colors,borders etc.

but i need to reformat it like the table above, without using tables

any suggestions ?
