Change text in the button "browse" from a file field html control

Hi,

I am developing a multi-language application in ASP.NET in c#.

I am using a file field html control to upload an image.

I would like to change the text on the button "browse" that comes with the
control. I need to change the text to have the correct text for the
language chosen.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks,

Olivier

Olivier:
the browser will automatically localize the word "browse". That is, if your
users have a french browser installed, it'll automatically say 'naviger' (or
whatever). It isn't an asp.net thing, it's a browser thing

If you want though, using CSS, you can do some neat stuff:

Have you looked at adding a string resource file for each culture? Then, in
you page load event, assign the button text from the appropriate language
resource.

You can't do anything with the file field such as prepopulate or change the
text of the browse button or style it very much at all. This is for security
reasons because they don't want anyone somehow misleading you and fooling you
into uploading something you don't want to upload... or changing the value to
be c:\myFinancesAndCreditCardInfo.txt and <body onload=form.submit();>
