Google Chrome autofill removing background image

Puts the image back using keyframes:

@-webkit-keyframes autofill {
    to {
        background-image:url(images/your-input-bg-image.svg);
    }
}

input:-webkit-autofill {
    -webkit-animation-name: autofill;
    -webkit-animation-fill-mode: both;
}

Kudos to @Steve for his answer to Removing input background colour for Chrome autocomplete?

I'm posting a solution here, essentially as a hack / workaround for the problem described.

Using extra elements we can place the icon on the input element.

Working Example:

CSS

.control {
    position: relative;
}

.email {
    padding-left: 35px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    font-size: 16px;
}

.email ~ .input-icon {
    background-image: url('http://www.letsgocook.net/sites/default/img/email.png');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 100%;
    background-position: center center;
    width: 22px;
    height: 14px;
    position: absolute;
    left: 8px;
    bottom: 0;
    top: 0;
    margin: auto;
}

HTML

  <p class='control'>
    <input type='email' class='email' placeholder='email'/>
    <span class='input-icon'></span>
  </p>
