Can the "Browse..." button be an image?

Mayank Jain, Paul Johansson, jsWalter, Gareth Walker,

Is there any way to do this, to change the "Browse..." button to an 
image? I only get the error message "Access denied"...
Best regards
Paul

It seems that this code no longer works in IE.
As of 5.x I get an "access is denied" error.
I figure MS must have 'fixed' this during the last rev.
I have no solutions as of now. Anyone have a guess on this?

This is how I solved this issue.
All you need for this to work are 2 image, an up and a down image.
Just drop this into your form, change the path and image names and your 
in business.
Any questions drop me a line.

Hi Walter,
I tried this code on IE 6.0. It works fine. But when I tried the same 
thing on Netscape 4.77, it doesn't work. It doesn't even throw a 
javascript error. Is there any other workaround which can work on 
Netscape 4.77.
Thanks,
Mayank
