Change Button Text Value on HTML Input Type File

Posted on the 10 July 2014 by Akahgy

Description:

Browsers render by default “Choose file” (or similar, depending on browsers and locale settings) when an input of type “file” is detected.

Solution:

Unfortunately there is no easy solution.

 <input type=”file” name=”inputFile” id=”inputFile” />

This is pretty much all you can do with HTML.

The only solution, but a bit too much overhead, is to add javascript or Flash. Or you think that the default “Choose file” is beautiful and you live with it.
