CSS LIST-STYLE-IMAGE

This property indicates a graphic to be used for the list markers in the list structure. This should override the default appearance of list-markers in the current HTML list structure. If a ‘list-style-image’ is given a value of ‘none’ or the URL can not be loaded, the ‘list-style-type’ will be used in its place. The ‘list-style-type’ should always be specified in the event the URL pointed to in ‘list-style-image’ can not be loaded

Example

ul { list-style-image: url(picture.gif) }



content

Possible Values

inherit: Explicitly sets the value of this property to that of the parent
none: No list-marker will be displayed for the list item
[url]: This value indicates the URL source for the list-marker graphic. It can be either an absolute or relative URL. If the graphic can not be loaded, whatever ‘list-style-type’ property is set will be used

When i use the style-list-image.
The images size is 14px x 14px. Why the list text cannot set the vertical-align: middle?

Seems the list text keep appear at the vertical-align:bottom;

Any ideas?

You’ll have to use a background image instead in order to get the same result in all browsers. See second example under “Using an Image as List Item Marker” here: http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_list.asp
