Open file dialog

[Guest 2fast4murk]

I'm currently working with forms and want to add a 'browse' button to upload a file from your (local) harddisk. I've used the <input type=file> option but that way I can't change the caption on the button. The thing I want to do is create a custom 'browse' button from which I can edit the caption and after clicking opens a similar dialog to the one from <input type=file>. How can I do this?

You can do it only by hide original file-input field and then create visible "fake input field" with text input and button or image.Look: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html
