dumb noob cannot get UL to stack vertically

Day two of HTML!

And I am using an HTML generator in a set-up where I never see the HTML,
but the generator is designed to use almost the same syntax as HTML so I
think I can communicate this:

I had a UL containing simple LIs with just a string, and they stacked
vertically. Nice. But the user has to click on any of the items in a
radio button kinda way, so I made them into inputs, type submit. Now
they all appear in a row. Yikes!

I have a CSS going for the UL and am having great fun changing the color
and border but do not see anything that would let me specify a vertical
stacking.

Any help appreciated.

I gave the elements some CSS:

display: block

How'd I do?

Do yourself a favour and use a text editor.

Almost??? There's no excuse for not having valid HTML.

Check the page with <http://validator.w3.org>.

URL? PLease provide the location of the page so we can see just
what the problem is.
