sshow's answer did it for me, too:

navigation.css:

[...]

.buttonConfiguration {
    width: 40px;
    background-color: red; /* transparent; */
    border: none;
    color: white;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    display: inline-block;
    font-family: corbel;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: normal;
    margin: 1px 1px;
    cursor: pointer;

    background-image: url('../images/icons5/gear_16.png');
    background-position: center; /* 0px 0px; */
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

[...]

frameMenu.php:

[... PHP, Javascript and HTML code ...]

<!-- <li><a target="frameBody" href="admin/conf/confFunctions.php"><input type="button" class="buttonSuperAdmin" value="<?= $oLanguage->getExpression('confSettings', 'title', 'C e n t e r s') ?>"></a> -->
<li><a target="frameBody" href="admin/conf/confFunctions.php"><input type="button" class="buttonConfiguration" value=""></a>
<ul>
<li><a target="frameBody" href="admin/conf/getglobals.php "><input type="button" class="buttonSuperAdminSub" value="<?= $oLanguage->getExpression('centerSettings', 'confAdmin1', 'GetGlobals') ?>"></a></li>
<li><a target="frameBody" href="admin/conf/getcwd.php "><input type="button" class="buttonSuperAdminSub" value="<?= $oLanguage->getExpression('confSettings', 'centerAdmin2', 'GetCWD') ?>"></a></li>
</ul>
</li>

I have tested this successfully under the lastest versions of Firefox and Chrome (as of February 9th, 2019).

If you absolutely must use input, try this:

background-image: url(...);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: <left|right>;
padding-<left|right>: <width of image>px;

It's usually a little easier to use a button with an img inside:

<button type="submit"><img> Text</button>

However the browser implementations of button for submitting are inconsistent, as well as the fact that all button values are sent when button is used - which kills the "what button clicked" detection in a multi-submit form.

Answer 4

<button type="submit" style="background-color:transparent; border-color:transparent;"> 
  <img src="images/button/masuk.png" height="35"/>
</button>
<button type="reset" style="background-color:transparent; border-color:transparent;"> 
  <img src="images/button/reset.png" height="35"/>
</button>

I hope this helps you.

If you're using spritesheets this becomes impossible and the element must be wrapped.

.btn{
    display: inline-block;
    background: blue;
    position: relative;
    border-radius: 5px;
}
.input, .btn:after{
    color: #fff;
}
.btn:after{
    position: absolute;
    content: '@';
    right: 0;
    width: 1.3em;
    height: 1em;
}
.input{
    background: transparent;
    color: #fff;
    border: 0;
    padding-right: 20px;
    cursor: pointer;
    position: relative;
    padding: 5px 20px 5px 5px;
    z-index: 1;
}

This works well for me, and I'm handling hover and click CSS as well (by changing background color):

HTML (here showing 2 images, image1 on top of image2):

<button class="iconButton" style="background-image: url('image1.png'), url('image2.png')"
  onclick="alert('clicked');"></button>

CSS (my images are 32px X 32px, so I gave them 4px for padding and a 5px border rounding):

.iconButton {
    width: 36px;
    height: 36px;
    background-color: #000000;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
    outline: none;
}

.iconButton:hover {
    background-color: #303030;
}

.iconButton:active {
    background-color: #606060;
}

button::-moz-focus-inner {
    border: 0;
}
