Hi,

the browser renders the <input type="file"> like that so you can't change it.

Grz, Kris.

Hi,

It's possible, but not trivial to style the <input type="file" /> element.
Check out the article Styling an input type="file".

Dunno if it'll satisfy you more, but to sum up; you cannot use a normal textbox and a link button to upload a file to the server. You need to use an <input type="file" /> element. And, like Kris pointed out, the text on the browse button is rendered by the the browser, and because of that it will look slightly different in different browsers on different operating systems. You can, however, style it to some extent using the method provided in the link in my previous post. For instance change the text on the browse button.

Hi,

I knew one could do something about it with CSS but didn't had the time myself to really do some research on it. Seems like a great article and I will surely read it when I have some more time.

On the other hand, I like to have the button rendered by the browser. Why? Endusers are used to it and because I also like to care about usability I like to leave it just there. If one's tampering with it endusers will probably get confused and draw away their attention to what matters: letting the endusers perform the actions that are really required for your application.

I could not agree more. The point about usability is really important. Also, the method used to style the input field is kind of a hack, so there is no guarantee that it'll work in future browser versions.
