Please see this css and html and then see the image to understand the gaps that i am talking about. I am probably fussing over something too small, and getting this fixed won't have any effect on the webpage's usability, but i am learning right now, and i just want to understand this behaviour.

I have two css files attached, one is my reset file the other is for this page:

table, th, td {

}
input[type="submit"] {
float: left;
padding: 4px 8px;
border: 1px solid rgb(50,50,50);
font-size: .8em;
}
main file (For this page):
#navmenu ul li{
display:inline-block;
padding:15px;
}
#navmenu ul{
display:inline-block;
}
#topbar a {
float: right;
display: inline;
padding: 5px;
}
#navmenu {
display:inline-block;
float: left;
}
#navmenu ul li:hover {
background-color: rgb(50,50,50);
color: rgb(255,255,255);
}
Now this is a image of my nav menu in the browser, notice the gaps in between the li elements. I have changed the display property, i have checked in chrome if this is some kind of margin, but when i do inspect element, it doesn't really tell me what the gap is.
