Cursor:pointer not working on input type file [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Change cursor type on input type=“file”

This is my jsfiddle:

http://jsfiddle.net/3zNMK/

This class already has a cursor but not working:

.file
{
    cursor:pointer;
}

I want that even though a hover is made on textbox inside input type file, it should change to hand icon. But it is not working.

Any way to change this behavior?

Try some manipulation like this

HTML

<span class="file-wrapper">
  <input type="file" name="photo" id="photo" />
  <span class="button">Choose a File</span>
</span>

​ CSS

.file-wrapper {
  cursor: pointer;
  display: inline-block;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
}
.file-wrapper input {
  cursor: pointer;
  font-size: 100px;
  filter: alpha(opacity=1);
  -moz-opacity: 0.01;
  opacity: 0.01;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
}
.file-wrapper .button {
  background: #333;
  -moz-border-radius: 5px;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  color: #fff;
  cursor: pointer;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 11px;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-right: 5px;
  padding: 4px 18px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}
