HTML input type="file" in Chrome does not show textbox

Question

I have problem with <input type="file" /> in Chrome - it does not show the textbox near the 'browse' button. What is a best way to show a standard file input (textbox+button) in Chrome?

Answer 1

This is the default behavior of Google chrome as well as Safari. Read this blog for a solution

Answer 2

The box is there, although it is not designed. It might be on the "wrong" side of the window, but it's there.

Just for the matter - put a border around it - and you'll see it's there.

  <input type="file" style="border: solid 1px red"> 

Also, after you select a file - you get the name of it.
