Expanding jQuery <li> problems
<p><a href="https://www.verswerks.com/crowd_staffer/" rel="nofollow">https://www.verswerks.com/crowd_staffer/</a><br>On the right side of that screen is what I'm working with. I can't get the tabs to move independently without pulling the rest with. I understand it's probably because their wrapped in the ul but can anyone suggest a way to fix this?</p>

<pre><code>#top_links{
