Image in Text widget? [message #754474]

Hi,

I would like to be able to embed a small icon within a text field (e.g. in a wizard or other)...where the icon appears on the left of the text box...and text input happens to the right of the image...e.g:

My field: <icon> <text input>

This isn't the same as a background image (that's behind the entire text box)...rather it's an icon that takes up some space on the left (or optionally, right) of the text box.

Is there some existing instance of such a widget? Or similar examples?

Thanksinadvance,

Scott
