You have two main choices, between fixing it so that
(1) People have to scroll sideways to look at your list. They get
to see only some of the list when they could be seeing the lot.
or
(2) The functional one, users don't have to scroll sideways, they
don't have to stare at half a list (how good a look is that?).
By selecting the right css, with sufficient padding and margins
etc, it is not so bad a look when these things wrap. I do
understand your concerns but you can console yourself with the
not too fanciful idea that most people will be viewing on 800px
wide or more and all will be fine, just a few will see it
wrapped, you are doing them a favour.
