Thanks for your suggestions. But doesn't Font Awesome require an online
connection in order to work? If it does then I think that the CSS route
would be the way to go, if only I could get it to point to an internal SVG
image.
input {
background-image: url(bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-indent: 20px;
}
