Hi there,

farily simple question, I want to be able to use a piece of artwork for the browse button used in the filefield section of the following script, instead of using the default "Browse..."
Something like the submit button, but I don't know how to implement this for the filefield part. Any help is much appreciated, an example would be great.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); #errors will show in the browser

my $newStyle;
my $co=new CGI;
print $co->header,
$co->start_html(
 -title=>'fileupload.cgi',
 -BGCOLOR=>'#FFFFFF',
 -style=>{-src=>'http://localhost/html/stylesheet.css',
 -code=>$newStyle}
),
$co->start_multipart_form(
                 -method=>'POST',
                 -action=>"fileupload2.cgi",
                 -enctype=>"multipart/form-data",
                 ),

$co->p,
$co->filefield( -name => 'file',
                -default => "starting value",
                -size => 30,
                -maxlength => 80,
                ),
http://localhost/html/add.bmp",
                -value => "starting value",
                ),
$co->p,
$co->image_button( -name => "submit",
                   -src => "http://localhost/html/add.bmp",
                   ),
$co->end_multipart_form;
$co->end_html;
exit 0;
