IE, Firefox and Opera all implement it, allowing you to reliably change the size of the file path textbox (Webkit browsers don't use a textbox). Styling the file upload file using CSS, in contrast, is inconsistent at best.

If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: For browsers, allowing authors to style a file input in general (whether by CSS or by size="") is a bit dodgy from a security perspective. I really highly recommend just letting browsers make them look like whatever they look like. 53148 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:07:04 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1
