Unfortuanately you cannot. They are pretty strict about letting you fiddle with the file input to stop dodgy okes from sniping files off your machine. Why they won't let you style it I am not so sure. You can modify the textbox portion of it, but not the button. [Edit] Actually, I lie. You can, to a degree. background-color for instance does not work on the button bit but border does. Bit of pot luck.

Hi Paul, I just found a dirty way to do this. I put a normal button, a textbox and a file input field. Then put some java script and managed to call the file input's click event from the button's click event, so when I clicked the button the open dialog box would appear, and it worked!. Then the getting the text in to the text box from file input was easy. Now I can do what ever the decorations to the poor button :) Thanks for your help and your time. :) UB You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike. +++Mentor+++
