Explanation

Hiding the File Input:

In the HTML, the is hidden using style="display: none;". This hides the native file input so that we can replace it with our custom UI.

Custom Button:

The button is styled as the trigger for the file input. When the button is clicked, JavaScript simulates a click on the hidden file input using fileInput.click().

Display File Name:

After a file is selected, the JavaScript change event updates the fileName span with the name of the selected file.
