Writing next to the icon (change 25 to the width of your icon):
Worked for me

Now, depending on what you want exactly (custom borders, etc) you can make them using the background tip trefen gave and "border:none;"
then of course you can position it wherever you want using background-position (right, left, top, bottom) or even combione them however you want:
| Code: |
| <input type="text" style="background:url( icon.jpg ) no-repeat; background-position:left;"> |
