I have been pulling my hair out trying to get Chrome to style my search input with a background image. Firefox has no problem, but I fear it's because it treats the input as a regular text input. Is this simply not possible?

Try this as a demo:

<input type="search" />

?input[type="search"] {
background: transparent 
    url(http://google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/srpr/logo1w.png) no-repeat 0 0;
}??????

If it worked correctly, it should put Google's logo (or part of it) as the background image for the "Search" input. But as you will see when you look at this in Chrome, it DOES NOT WORK. Any ideas, or is this just one of HTML5's quirks? :\
