Using the attached example, it can be shown that Mozilla can
apply some styles to a <input type="file">:
However, as it shows only font and font-size can be changed,
or the whole <input type="file"> can be hidden using display: none.
See the css file on how the elements of a <input type="file"> can be
styled. Note that to 'security reasons' the elements within the
<input type="file"> cannot be styled (except for font and font-size).
It should be possible to get a reasonable effect, even in mozilla ;-).
Turn on 'XBL-based form control' in the Edit/Preferences/Debug panel
to get the best effect.
