control input type="file"

[lilw]

Could anyone please tell me if there is a way to have the input element
<input type="file" name="somename"> without getting the box where the file path gets shown. I want the popup window and the "brows" button, just would prefer not to show the text field next to it.
Thanks in advance.

No. That field has the greatest restrictions due to the extreme potential for security breaches that any reduction in those restrictions would cause.

Thanks a lot, I would've spent a lot of time attempting to get rid of the text field. But how about masking it? Is there any way to simply hide it?
