Is there any way to code a 'file' input on a form so that you
can change 'Browse' on the browse button to something else?

I'm trying to modify an upload form into another language.

I tried using the value tag but that didn't work.

Regards,




Fred

Fred,

Not quite impossible, but hard. The button is generated by the browser
and varies from browser to browser. You don't have any direct control
over it. But if your client is using a system in another language, I
would expect that would come up in their language. I would hope so, at
least.

I did find one cludge at http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html.
But I wouldn't do it on my systems.

The File input is the least changable form input. About the only thing
you can do is to fake it:

Why? If your visitor only speaks, say, Swedish, then they'll probably have
a Swedish browser installed, and see the file upload button in Swedish.
Why would you want to display it in a non-Swedish language for them?

Are you telling me that 'Browse' will come up in another
language already if someone is using a browser that is configure for
that language?

That's something I was completely unaware of.

Regards,



Fred

Using an English version of a browser like IE or Firefox, and setting
your language preference to another language will not do it. If,
however, you're using say the Spanish version of Firefox, then the
Browse, Reset, and Submit buttons would all be localized.

Yes, of course it will -- it's part of the browser "chrome".
