The Upload Button

The file upload element (type="file"), is used to allow a user to;

  1. Open a navigation window
  2. Select a file
  3. Upload it to the URL specified in the “action=""” attribute.

Most of the visual appearance for this type of box, as well as the subsequent ‘file browser’ will be dictated by the users browser & OS

NOTE: With this element, due to the nature of the data, you need to set the “method” attribute to “post” (method="post").
