What is the best way to replace the file browse button in html?

Question

I know that it\'s possible to replace the browse button, which is generated in html, when you use input tag with type=\"file.

I\'m not sure

Answer 1

This isn't technically possible for security purposes, so the user cannot be misled.

However, there are a couple of workarounds - take a look at http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html for one example.

For the record, this question has already been asked here (where I gave the same answer).
