You’re using <input type="image" />, so a src attribute is expected. You haven’t specified one, so Chrome shows a grey border, in the same way it does for an img with no src attribute.

If you want to stick to using <input type="image" /> and using a CSS sprite, you’re going to have to specify something as the src, such as a 1×1 transparent “blank.gif”.

However, that just seems horrible. Instead, I recommend switching to <input type="submit" />, which solves the problem.
