The Upload Button

The file upload element (type="file"), is used to allow a user to;

Open a navigation window
Select a file
Upload it to the URL specified in the “action=""” attribute.

Most of the visual appearance for this type of box, as well as the subsequent ‘file browser’ will be dictated by the user’s browser and operating system.

NOTE: When using this element, because of the data type, one needs to set the “method” attribute to “post” (method="post").
