You have to use a Rich Text formula field to display an image representing the button.
In your draft formula you are attempting to call the method API_EditRecord and jGrowl() in addition to styling the button with an image. It is easier and more flexible to not mix (1) API calls and (2) JavaScript into your formulas irrespective of what support, prior forum answers, other power users or documentation may suggest. You will find a script solution vastly more useful and I suggest you use the IOL tecdchnique.
The following Pastie links to the IOL technique setup instructions and provides the formula for the IOL field and module.js code:

If you need more instructions feel free to ask. If you are hesitant or unsure of using the IOL technique you can rely on one of the other answers that shows up (I don't think there will be any).
