customising asp.net fileupload control

Question

Using the asp.net file upload control is very easy, i'm trying to squeeze it into my site and the dam thing is very ugly!. Can I not change the browse button to an image of my choosing ?

So far i'm failing to achieve this seemingly simple goal. Any ideas on this one ?

Thanks

Unfortunately you can't do much with as it's really down to the browser how it is styled and functions. Just try it in Safari & IE to see the difference.

I have seen sites where people have used overlays to make it look different, kind of giving it a mask.
