fileStyle is a lightweight (1.51KB) jQuery plugin allowing complete CSS styling of <input type=“file”> elements.¶ ↑

Overview¶ ↑

I created this plugin because it is impossible to achieve uniform cross-browser styling of the <input type=“file”> using only CSS. In fact, Firefox 4.0 and lower doesn’t even allow you to set the width in pixels.

The one plugin I was able to find that did something similar to this one, required a fixed width, an image for the “Browse…” button, and it had far too many cross-browser bugs.

This plugin solves those problems and more. Please create an issue for any bugs discovered, or email me at jquery.fun@gmail.com

Usage Examples¶ ↑

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('.input-file-example-one').inputFile(); //gray button by default

    $('.input-file-example-two').inputFile({
        btnClass: 'btn-blue'
    });

});
