lists -- img instead of bullet

[maya]

list-style-image: url(images/black-dot.gif);

this works very well for the most part, only thing is, in IE image is
lined up with TOP edge of line, in FF it's lined up with BOTTOM edge of
line, is there a way around this? I mean to make it look the same in IE
and FF? ideally, of course, would be to position this image aligned
with the MIDDLE of the line (I mean like valign=middle...:)

thank you..

This is only important if you expect your visitors to use multiple
browsers to view your site. Aside from us developers, the chances of
that happening are Slim To None.

I think his point was that he wants the vertical alignment to be in the
middle of the text, and he's not satisfied with either way he sees it
now (either top or bottom).

One way to solve the problem is to have bullet images the same
height as the font, but then to guarantee this you have to hard-code
your fonts in pixel sizes. Ugh.

I disagree with "you have to". I would size the image in em units to
match the font. If the result was unsatisfactory (pixel artifacts)
then I'd consider adjusting the image, rather than resorting to
pixel-sized text.

Sizing in ex units might be technically more accurate than em units,
but I've had unsatisfactory results with ex units in the past (browser
bugs - or at least infelicities).
