Posted By Weston Ganger

One common problem for developers is styling the file input field. Here is one ridiculously simple method that works for IE10+ and all other browsers. Just style the label as you want the input to look.


<label class="my-button-class" style="background-color: green;" for="my-file-selector">
  <input id="my-file-selector" type="file" style="display:none;">
  Select a File
</label>
