Font-awesome, input type 'submit'

There seems to be no class for input type 'submit' in font-awesome. Is it possible to use some class from font-awesome for button input? I've added icons to all buttons (which actually links with class 'btn' from twitter-bootstrap) in my applications, but can't add icons on 'input type submit'.

Or, how to use this code:

input#image-button{
    background: #ccc url('icon.png') no-repeat top left;
    padding-left: 16px;
    height: 16px;
}

html:

<input type="submit" id="image-button">Text</input>

(which I took from HTML: How to make a submit button with text + image in it?) with font-awesome?

With multiple submits, when you need the value of the submit selected, this can be done quite easily. Just create a hidden field in your form and change its value depending on what button is clicked. For example, in the form, say you have:

<input type="hidden" id="Clicked" name="Clicked" value="" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success ClickCheck" id="Create"> <i class="fa fa-file-pdf-o"> Create Bill</i></button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success ClickCheck" id="Reset"> <i class="fa fa-times"> Reset</i></button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success ClickCheck" id="StoreData"> <i class="fa fa-archive"> Save</i></button>

Using jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function()
    {
        $('.ClickCheck').click(function()
        {
            var ButtonID = $(this).attr('id');
            $('#Clicked').val(ButtonID);
        });
    });
</script>

Then you can retrieve the value of the button clicked in the "Clicked" post variable
