i need to create a simple navbar with no search box, just logo and links next to it and I’m not allowed to use float or flexbox here’s the code:

.nav-logo img{
height: 48px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.links ul li{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.links ul li a{
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
}

I tried to do it with display: inline-block and vertical-align: middle but it still doesn’t work, only float did the job for me…when i asked i was told yes it’s possible with inline-block.
