[thelist] CSS help, styling lists

[Theodore Serbinski]

Hi all, 

So I'm having a bit of trouble, and yes, IE is causing me the trouble.
Take a look at this template:

http://www.cilon.com/asist/

I'm trying to get the menu to center vertically within the horizontal
blue bar, along with the search field but IE is not cooperating, no
matter what I try.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Also, does anyone know how
in IE to make the menus appear like this in the mockup:

Looking at the hover state mostly, in Firefox it's easy to extend the
padding on the A tag but IE just grows the LI box so the border
expands too (instead of small).

Thanks!
