Changing style attributes of HTML file upload control

Using the HTML file upload control gives you input textbox and a command
button. How do you change appearance and caption of button? Setting style
attributes doesn't appear to work completely.

Is there a javascript function that will open a file browser window? This
way I could fully customize appearance.

Thanks,
Charlie

The input type="file" is very protected by browsers, to the point of a bit
too much paranoia sometimes. The answer depends on what brownser you're
using. In IE 6 though, this works:

<input type="file" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size:
16pt;" />

I have been trying to write a script that will increase the size of and image when you mouse over it, and decrease it to original size, when you mouse out. After a couple of attempts, this is what I've come up with. In this example, there are 5 images (0 thru 4) all with a height of 80px. When you mouse over an image, it changes the growingImage variable equal to the number of the image you mouse over, when you mouse out, it sets it to 5,...

Hi, Is there any way to modify the style of the button portion of an HtmlInput control? I have a CSS class which I use for all of the buttons to try to make them a little less ugly than the standard grey but, if I apply this to an HtmlInput control, all that does is change the background and foreground colours in the textbox portion. Similarly, if I modify the style attribute, that only applies to the textbox portion too.

I am using an application that dynamically creates style tags all over the place in the html file. I mean some inside the head section and some in the body section. I have no control over this. Is there a tool/utility out there which reads in such a file, moves all the STYLE tags and groups them together in the head section or an external file? (Just grouping them is fine with me) John Dalberg

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
