Hi,
You can't avoid using a "file" input, but there is a trick to hide it
from users - they'll see only your button and textbox. In short the
main principle is to put transparent <input type="file" /> above a
textbox and button, and a user - that clicks on a button - really
clicks on the "file" input and opens a file dialog box.

Here is a good step-by-step instruction how to do it.
