How to theme Browse button of a FileUpload control?

Y

yeltsin27

Theming seems only to affect the text box of a FileUpload control, not
the Browse button. Is there any way to theme the button as well?

Thanks,

I managed to accomplish this using FrontPage while working on a
Sharepoint site a while ago. You can use the style attribute and then
set border-color, border-width, etc. I would imagine a css class would
be effective too, although I have not tried that with a FileUpload
control.

e.g.
<asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server"
style="border-color:#b8b8b8;"/>

Hope this helps.

Straight forward styling of FileUpload without CSS hacks

I found an excellent post about styling this without using any CSS hacks :) Mathias Kunto has a few lines of jQuery and some codebehind: http://blog.mathiaskunto.com/2012/0...aspfileupload-control-using-control-adapters/

It is not possible to style the actual button on an file upload. I have
seen a hack that uses CSS to place a "fake" style over the top of the
button.. here is a link that explains it better.
