Thank you for the quick replies, Mr. Strittmatter and Mr. Robinson.
Well, it is a pity you cannot style that button - it really stands out when all the other buttons are styled. I found http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html another hack/solution on this, however it requires javascript to work properly (which is, in my case, not applicable i. e. wanted). Right now I wonder - is there another way to trigger the "browse"-dialog of a browser without using "input type=file"? I googled a bit: Javascript apparently cannot (see http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread151864.html here ). And I cannot rely on http://blog.brandags.com/browse-for-folder-dialog-in-javascript.html ActiveX stuff since I cannot take a Windows OS for granted. Any further ideas how to trigger a "browse"-dialog of a browser (using jsf only maybe)?
