{    
    margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    background:url(../../images/li_bg1.jpg) left center no-repeat;
    padding: 0em 1.2em;
    font: 8pt "tahoma";
    color: #336699;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: normal;
    letter-spacing: 0px;

I prefer the below solution:

                    <div style="padding: 5px; float: left;overflow: auto;height: auto;">
                        <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton2" ImageUrl="./icons/search24.png" ToolTip="Search"  runat="server" />
                        <p><asp:Label ID="Label7" runat="server" Text="Search"></asp:Label></p>
                    </div>

You can change the style to make it center aligned, etc.
