[thelist] Styling Input type="File"

<<got a version of this somewhere that actually works (ie, the form will

this
<<"technique" here on thelist recently about how it seemed to work until you
<<actually tried to use the form.

I used it in a windows app that converts image-map data to SVG. I used the
<input> to load the saved SVG file into an IFrame.
This was an HTA that was run on the client only, so no post to the server is
needed.
I'm surprised posting doesn't work, as the input's value is set to the
file-name after selecting - good to know for the future though.

The code I used to get the input's value was:

function showSVG(){
     fileLoader.click();
     window.frames['oSVGLoader'].location.href=fileLoader.value
}

Cheers,
Richard.
