This is what my code looks like.
If you can add jQuery library you could try this,
$(document).ready(function(){
// Remove li float
$("#container ul li").css("float", "none");
// Get the full height of the UL
var ulheight = $("#container ul li")[0].scrollHeight;
// Based on the height of the container being 50px you can position the UL accordingly
var pushdown = (50-ulheight)/2;
$("#container ul li").css("top", pushdown);
});
