Bear in mind that some browsers, especially on non-Windows platforms, have file inputs that don't look anything like you're probably expecting - i.e. they aren't a text input field with a button next to it. That's the way it was implemented in the earliest browsers to support forms (early '90s), but there's no reason why it has to be that way. Roger Johansson has a large collection of screenshots at <http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/styling-form-controls-revisited/file-select/>. In particular, consider what a standard Safari <input type="file"> is going to look like stretched to 100% width: <http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/styling-form-controls-revisited/file-select/#safari2>. (It may not be clear from that screenshot, but when a file is selected, its filename, not including the full path, will take the place of the text "No file selected".) I think it's probably going to have a lot of white space around its two components...
