yii CMultiFileUpload stop default behavior

Question

How are you supposed to prevent the CMultiFileUpload widget from appending the file names of selected files to the page?

Here is my code:

<?php
$this->widget('CMultiFileUpload', array(
    'name' => 'images',
    'accept' => 'jpeg|jpg|gif|png',
    'denied' => 'Invalid file type',
    'htmlOptions' => array('multiple'=>'multiple'),
));?>

Here is a picture of what I am talking about:

I need to remove what the arrows point to. It's also strange why it says "No files selected" when that isn't the case. If I submit the form, the file does indeed get sent to the server.

Edit: It does what I want if javascript is turned off though. It also fixes the "no files selected" error. Is there a way to disable the javascript for just the widget?

if you want to hide the names of the files you have uploaded then you can use the options in your CMultiFIleUpload eg:-

<?php
$this->widget('CMultiFileUpload', array(
    'name' => 'images',
    'accept' => 'jpeg|jpg|gif|png',
    'denied' => 'Invalid file type',
    'htmlOptions' => array('multiple'=>'multiple'),
    'options'=>array(
     'onFileAppend'=>'
                    function(e,v,m)
                     {
                       // try using e.preventDefault();
                    (".MultiFile-label").css("display","none");
                    }
                    '
)
));?>

Note:- I haven't tested it but hope it helps.
