Setting size of displayed input box type=file

Hi

I am using a simple file upload script, accessed from the html page using a simple form e.g.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="post">
Please choose a file:
<input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

All works fine, but the displayed input box (i.e. the box in which the file path is displayed) is set very short by the default behaviour of IE & Firefox.

Does anyone know please if is possible to modify this default behaviour to increase the input box displayed width.

CSS doesn't support file input box.

However you can try some other way to style file input box.
