list: extra margin in IE

[A.Translator]

This page http://www.xs4all.nl/~hogen/MenNew/voorpagina.htm behaves as
intended in FF 1.01 and Opera 7, but when viewed in IE 6 the menu 'buttons'
in the left sidebar, get way too much white at the bottom. I have been
fiddling with margins and paddings, but cannot get rid of the extra white.

Can someone please help me out?
Thank you.

I'm sure this isn't the best way to handle this, but if you add a border
the same color as the background it get rid of the space.

#sidemenu li {
list-style-type:none;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}

my shot from the hip; looks like a line-break -> space depends on the
font size. set the font-size: 0px in #sidemenu

btw move the sidemenu items 1px left would look nicer
margin: 0 0 0 -1px;

Thank you, remove line-breaks did the trick,
