Hi (again)

I followed what people here suggested for my previous post (I had problems styling input areas, submit buttons etc)

Now, everything is working EXCEPT 1 : The "browse-for-a-file" button

I thought that this button, since it is coded as <input type="file" ...> would be treated like the other input elements ,such as the buttons.
BUT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!!

Even if I change, for instance, font-size = 500px, the "Browse" button and the fonts inside the input area remain the same as without styling at all...

What am I missing here?
Sorry for asking so silly staff

I know there is an issue with that setting in some browsers, I can't remember the website that described how to get around it. Try google.

Yeah.... thats a neat little trick I was using a while ago.

It's sad to say that styling form elements cross browser is far from easy.

I also hate the way form elements are generally always on top regardless of other elements z-index.

It would be nice to have better style control over checkboxes and radio's but hey... we cant have it all (even with javascript enabled)
