In IE6 and 7, if a DOCTYPE is defined, it should have no problems. I brought this up because I happen to be working with embeddable widgets code lately and I have to generate HTML that works the same way on any web page outside of my control.

a.linkicon {
background: transparent no-repeat scroll center left;
padding: 0 0 0 20px;
}
