将图像定位在链接中

I’ve got some markup that doesn’t have much flexibility. It contains a simple link with an image inside of it. I’m trying to use CSS to get the image to display below the text. However, the only way I can do this is with absolute positioning. I thought there was another way to do this without having to resort to that. Any ideas? Also, I’m trying to get the image to display to the right of the text. I can do this by floating the image to the right, but the image appears all the way to the right of the container. Does anyone know how I can get the image to appear right next to the text? I don't really have the flexibility of adding a span tag around the link text.I’ve got some markup that doesn’t have much fle
