agh, super easy, elements not on same line

[phpchick]

<div class="breakinglinks"><span class="carrotrt"> >> </span>
<a class="linkinsidedropdown" href="">Harley Davidson 2013 outlook expected to be above analyst consensus</a>
</div>



CSS


span.carrotrt {
color:darkred;
padding-right:5px;
text-decoration:none;
}

div.breakinglinks{
display:inline;
padding:5px 0 0 5px;
}



The above ends up like
>>
Harley Davidson 2013 outlook expected to be above analyst consensus



where as im trying to have it on the same line

>> Harley Davidson 2013 outlook expected to be above analyst consensus

Hello phpchick,
The snippet you've provided doesn't reproduce the problem you're having, the arrows and anchor all display on one line.
Maybe your .breakinglinks inherits a width from something we aren't seeing?
Maybe a reset somewhere changing your anchors to block level?
