Huh?  If you have an <li> it needs to be in a <ul>, <ol>, or <menu> (and you 
shouldn't really use <menu>.  It's deprecated). That's the rules. That could be 
one source of your problem.

But if you want to limit it to a particular width, that's what the width 
property is for.

Something like:
li {
  width: 25%;
}

Or even better
ul (or whatever list container you're using) {
  width: 25%;
}
