Hyperlink will not align properly with the icon

enter image description here

This is a ul bullet list, and I've been trying to figure out how to get the actual hyperlinks to align to the middle of the icon. I tried a couple of different obvious things like "position" and "padding", but they are not creating the desired result.

Is the image causing the text to be off-centered or am I overlooking something?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

  • I changed your HTML and CSS a bit:

    HTML:

    <ul>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://vm2008/catdog'>catdog</a></li>
</ul>

    CSS:

    ul{
    list-style:none;
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
}

li{
    font-size:24px;
    list-style-type: none;
    height:64px;
    float:left;
    padding-left:64px;
    background: url('http://www.macos.utah.edu/documentation/administration/setup_netboot_service_on_mac_os_x_10.6.x_client.x_client/images/network.jpg') no-repeat top left;
    padding-top:20px; /*  (height-fontSize)/2   */
}

    JSFiddle.
