file field

Hi,
In the file field <input type="file" name="file1">, can I modify the button
"Browse..." ?
I want to hide the file field but show a button like "Open". When I click on
this button, it catches a file, and use onchange even to upload this file.
thanks for any idea.

I'm afraid you can't modify that button in current browsers

IIRC, though, there are tricks you can do with CSS layers which might be
able to mask it...

Hi, Atse

Please see the code bellow. It uses customized button, you can also use
an image or other HTML element to browse files.
There is one difference with this code and plain type=file field -
client must select file from browse window, cannot copy full path to the
text field.

in ASP :-)

Thanks Antonin, but it doesn't work for me, because no file is passed to
upload. I enable Image's visibility, and found the path there. When I click
on the submit button once, the path is clear on the Image field, and the
form doesn't submit. In another word, click once the submit button, the form
doesn't submit, but the Image field is clear the path. Any idea?

Yes, the browser doesn't allow this. Although you might be able to
hide the input with a layer or something, you won't be able to pre-set
the file that you want uploaded. You need to use an applet or other
client control like ActiveX to supplement the browser security
limitations.

Hi! Each week, we receive a two-page PDF file from UPS along with a separate flat file (a CSV) The PDF file contains the overview of our weekly invoice and the CSV contains the details of each shipment.

The only problem is that I wind up with having to print two...
