All of it answered your question.  If the “Dr” you are showing off in front 
of your name means anything, you do not need anyone to connect the dots for 
you.

This is not a guessing game.  Ask about what you want to know.  All crystal 
balls are under repair.

You did not ask about the size of the images at all.  You asked how you can 
overlay them on your list element without it changing size:

And that, together with many other problems of your approach, I did address.  
I even gave you example code even though yours is actually a problem that 
has very little to do with scripting; it has to do with CSS, on-topic in 
<news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets>.

Instead of continuing to complain and insult people behind their backs, and 
playing stupid, you should be grateful that I invested my precious time for 
reading and replying to one of your postings, given that your posting was 
mostly off-topic, you posted via borken Google Groups, and considering your 
past and present behavior towards me – and make the best of it.  For as 
things are now, it may not happen again anytime soon.
