Can the "Browse..." caption be changed?

[naveedmazhar]

Assalam-O-Alaikum! Can the "Browse..." caption of the "Browse Button" be changed. I am talking about Take care. Allah Hafiz

Hi there, I don't think you can. However, there is a work-around option is to use a normal button which allows you to set whatever you want as its caption, and use a hidden input file element to browse the files on the client machine.

You basically have 3 elements: textbox, button, and hidden input file.

<input id="TextBox1" type="text">
<input type="button" value="Browse Files" onclick="BrowseFile();">
<input id="File1" style="visibility:hidden" type="file" name="File1" runat="server"
onpropertychange="SelectFile();">

<script type="text/javascript">
function BrowseFile()
{
document.getElementById("File1").click();
}

function SelectFile()
{
	var filePath = document.getElementById("File1").value;
	document.getElementById("TextBox1").value = filePath;
}

</script>

However, this way only works with IE, since in FF the input file element (an instance of the HtmlInputElement with type=file) does not support the click method. If you can make it work in FF, I would be interested in knowing how.
