Aligning buttons in CSS/HTML in one line horizontally w/ text?

I would like to know how could I align my buttons horizontally? On top of that I want to add text to those buttons. This is what I currently have.

HTML body part:

<body> 
    <div class="tile_div">
        <table class="tile_table">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <img class="tile_image" height="50px" width="100px" src="./images/button_left.png"/> 
                    <p class="tile_p">Button one</p>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <img class="tile_image" height="50px" width="100px" src="./images/button_left.png"/> 
                    <p class="tile_p">Button two</p>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <img class="tile_image" height="50px" width="100px" src="./images/button_left.png"/> 
                    <p class="tile_p">Button three</p>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
</body>

CSS:

.tile_image {
    float: left;
    margin: 0px;
}

.tile_image img {
    position:absolute;
}

.tile_p {
    text-align:center;
    position:relative;
}

How it looks like: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/8867/uo7i.png

I want the text to be in the middle of the buttons not below them.

EDIT:

Alright so when I use src="./images/button_left.png" the image looks they way it should look:

But when ever I use background-image This happens: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/6127/yz4.png

tables should not be used for layout. I think the best approach would be to use floated links like this:

<div class="tile_div">
    <a href="#">Button one</a>
    <a href="#">Button two</a>
    <a href="#" class="last">Button three</a>
    <div class="clear"></div>
</div>

CSS:

.tile_div a {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    height: 50px;
    width: 100px;
    margin-right: 5px;
    background-image: url(./images/button_left.png);
    text-align: center;
    line-height: 50px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

.title_div a.last {
    margin-right: 0;
}

.clear {
    clear: both;
}
