Place icon on left of tag

Hello,

How can I place an icon (image) on left side of a tag, for example, a
anchor, a h1, etc?

I would like to do this using only CSS.

Thanks,
Miguel

well you could use a background image and padding... for example a
offsite link indicator with a little 10x10 arrow image:

a.offsite {
/* width of image + whatever you want for spacing */
padding-left: 12px;
/* little 10x10 arrow GIF */
background: transparent url(offsite.gif) no-repeat bottom left;
}


<a class="offsite" href="http://wwww.example.com>Offsite link</a>
