When it comes to the rendering on the screen of a file-select control, there is some variation among [[web browser]]s. Typically, on a Windows-based platform, user agents will render a file-select control as a text field, together with a "Browse" button. When the "Browse" button is pressed, a [[file dialog]] opens, with which actual file selection on one's platform can take place. After selection, the filename of the selected file is displayed in the text field. Alternatively, instead of using the "Browse" button, the filename can be entered directly in the text field. |
