Problem with input type='file'

Question

I am working on getting my website to display nicely in IE7. IE6 is already done, and also FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera etc...

I am running IE7 in IETester if that makes any difference.

I have a problem with an input type='file' in IE7. The button next to it (browse button) is very short with hardly any width at all. It is as if the button has a width set to 4px or something.

And on top of that, when I click the very small button, nothing happens. A browse window should appear, but nothing happens.

Here is the code:

  <td height="30px" align="left" style="vertical-align:top;">
     <input type="file" id="pic_1" name="pic_1">
  </td>

I have tested setting the width of both td and the input, but no luck.

Does anybody know what the problem might be here?

Thanks

Answer 1

Seems like the problem was with IETester.

I tested it on a different computer with IE7 and it works just fine.
