    The site you linked uses a combination of CSS tricks to pull this off. First, it uses a background-image for the <input> element. Then, in order to push the cursor over, it uses padding-left.

    In other words, they have these two CSS rules:

    background: url(images/comment-author.gif) no-repeat scroll 7px 7px;
padding-left:30px;
