Style on this... ?

[MikeBarone]

Since we learned how to add style to radio buttons does anyone know how to affect the button for the file field?

<input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;file_select&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;>

I want to change the style of this button. » » » » » »

I have found that it's all or nothing. I tried -

style="border: 1px solid black"

and got a rather pretty result, on both[/b] halves, the button and the text field. Not sure if you can split them up, but certain rules affect one and not the other, fr'instance background-color only affected the text box.

Hmm. Will have a play.

I find changing the looks of the text box confuses the visitors. Mine anyway, I deal with mainstream people who are not familiar with seeing a lot od CSS yet.

Thanks. » » » » » »

Try the following and see if you like it..... I used the font in inches that may sound funny but it looks good.... {~_*} colors depend on your bgcolor

.button
{
font-size: 0.1in;
border-top: #9b9bff solid thin;
border-bottom: #9b9bff solid thin;
border-right: #9b9bff solid thin;
border-left: #9b9bff solid thin;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Have a good one

you can do it, and still grab the string of the file input field like so:

<input type=file id=&quot;browsebox&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;>
<input type=text readonly id=&quot;stringbox&quot;>
<button style=&quot;border:1px solid black;background-color:336699;color:white&quot; onclick=&quot;browsebox.click();stringbox.value=browsebox.value&quot;>
Browse</button>

This is a cheesy-hack-workaround and may not work for all cases. Also, it forces them to use the browse button only. IE only jared@eae.net -

Just thought I'd ask if anyone is getting the readonly attribute to work with radio buttons? Is this not possible?

Thanks,
