  • This is not possible in a regular way. There are only some "hacks". You may find a solution in [this article on quirksmode.org](http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html). – micha149 Apr 11 '11 at 09:30

Styling of type="file" fields is extremely limited. Some browsers allow more customization than others - but the general rule is that you better don't expect any styling to apply for those fields.

I don't believe this is possible. As a security measure, these input controls are kept with a standard look so that users always know what they're interacting with.

either use the style tag 

<input type="submit" name="upload_bulk_trainees" style="background-color: blue" value="Upload" />

or a css class

<style type="text/css">
.button {
 background-color: red; 
}
</style>
<input type="submit" name="upload_bulk_trainees" class="button" value="Upload" />
