Text-link instead of browse form

Question

I need to use the plain text to open a browse-window. When you click on some words (for example 'upload an image') browse-window shows up and you can choose an image you want to upload. But there should be no forms visible. Just plain text as a link that opens browse-window.

Please be more clear on what you need, this is not descriptive on what you need at all. Just tell us the problem, and what you actually want to happen. — greduan, Oct 06 '12 at 00:23

You can simply hide the file upload field and invoke it via JavaScript.
