Styling the list item markers is required on so many instances. There are so many readily available list styles like - square, circle, lower-alpha, roman and many more. Even after having a wide range of list styles, we are often faced with the challenge of using a custom list style. This is when we tend to use an icon mage for the list items. With CSS adding a custom image icon for list style is easily possible using the following code. list-style-image:url('icon.png'); However, this is not as simple as it appears. The above code doesn't display the output in the same way in all the browsers. IE7 and Opera will display the image marker a little bit higher than Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

To avoid this, and be 1 up on our QA friends, here is a cross browser solution that works!
