jQuery Steps new steps being added to a new line

Question

I'm using the jQuery Steps wizard library to process orders from customers.

The default examples come with four steps at most, which look good. However, when I add a fifth step, it doesn't fit in the same line and goes to a second line.

Here's a screenshot where you can clearly see what I'm talking about:

I would like to have all five steps in the same line, so I have been trying to reduce the width of the steps hoping that would do it.

Here's my CSS:

/*
    Common 
*/

.wizard,
.tabcontrol
{
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.wizard a,
.tabcontrol a
{
    outline: 0;
}

.wizard ul,
.tabcontrol ul
{
    list-style: none !important;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

.wizard ul > li,
.tabcontrol ul > li
{
    display: block;
    padding: 0;
}

/* Accessibility */
.wizard > .steps .current-info,
.tabcontrol > .steps .current-info
{
    position: absolute;
    left: -999em;
}

.wizard > .content > .title,
.tabcontrol > .content > .title

    left: -999em;
}

My first thought was changing the first few lines:

.wizard,
.tabcontrol
{
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

to

.wizard,
.tabcontrol
{
    display: block;
    width: 50%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

but although that did reduce the width of the steps by half, it didn't put them in the same line and simply had them look like this:

My knowledge of CSS is very limited and I'm not sure what I am supposed to change so that the wizard looks how I want. Any help?

It would be easier if you would do a fiddle. Apart from this now i think the problem is that the box elements are still too wide to fit in your layout. if you put 5 in a row the width should be 100/5 - 4xmargin-right (space you want to have between them) = x% (where the last element shouldnt have a margin). This is the width you should be using so they always are in the same line. What happens on your last screenshot is because the box is too small for the text. You can rather change the font-size on smaller screens with CSS/Media Queries or make the other boxes fit to the height using Jquery. — Marcel Wasilewski, Nov 06 '15 at 16:10
@MarcelW Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I solved it now. — erictrigo, Nov 06 '15 at 17:03

Turns out I was modifying the wrong CSS block, all I had to do was update this:

.wizard > .steps > ul > li
{
    width: 25%;
}

to this:

.wizard > .steps > ul > li
{
    width: 20%;
}
