Unable to vertically align a custom bullet

I have a custome bullet for an LI...my issue is...when this displays, the bullet displays at the top of the line height. Is there a way to adjust this so that the bullet appears in center of the line height?

I dont think that will work. You can try adding 10px of transparent space to the bullet images themselves. IE6 doesn't even support custom bullet images so instead of that try doing this:

Code:

ul li {
   list-style: none; /* Dropping the list style */
   background: url(the/image.jpg) no-repeat center left; /* Adding the bullet as a background instead */
}

Not tested.
