Change the “browse” button’s value of an input file

Asked By rebhisalem 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/17/2011

Hello,

I want to personalize the browse button of the input file type.

By default, the value of the button on this input type is "Browse", so I want to change its value to "Find a file" or something like that.

I looked for a solution but till no way, I guess I can do that using CSS, so please provide me with a full working solution.

Thanks,

Rebhi

Change the “browse” button’s value of an input file

Just go for the html tag in the html file <input type="submit" value="Browse" name="Browse">

Change this tag to <input type="submit" value="Find a File" name="Find a File">

That's it!

Change the “browse” button’s value of an input file

Most of the time, the simplest way of writing a form in an HTML page is like this:

<form action="<URL>" method="get">

<input type="submit" name="get" value="Download"/></form>

Or

<form action="<URL>" method="post">

<input type="submit" name="get" value="Download"/></form>

With this example, what you see written in the button is the word “Download”. To change this to the text you want, just change the text “Download” to your desired text, “Find a file”.

Here is how the code will look like:

<form action="<URL>" method="get">

<input type="submit" name="get" value="Find a file"/></form>
