ok try this out:
html:
<p class="form">
<input type="text" id="path" />
<label class="uploadFile">upload<span><input type="file" id="myfile" name="myfile" /></span>
</label>
</p>
css:
.form input[type="file"]{
z-index: 999;
line-height: 0;
font-size: 50px;
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity = 0);-ms-filter: "alpha(opacity=0)";
cursor: pointer;
_cursor: hand;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
left:0;
}
.uploadFile{
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
cursor:pointer;
text-align:center;
background-color:#fff;
display:block;
width:197px;
height:31px;
font-size:18px;
line-height:30px;
float:left;
color:#000;
border:solid 1px #000;
}
input[type="text"]{
border: none;
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
width: 200px;
}
js:
$('#myfile').change(function(){
$('#path').val($(this).val());
});
$(function(){
if($("#path").val() == ""){
$("#path").val("No file choosen");
}
});
