File input elements are the most annoying when it comes to UI style inconsistencies.
I had a failed attempt at replacing a file input element with a text input + graphic button, due to the way the default "browser" button inconsistently works across browsers and for some obvious security reasons (like silently making the browser submit an arbitrary file from the local disk). This was a while ago and I don't know if it's still impossible. Has anyone succeeded in replacing file input items with custom visual elements?
