How can I remove the No file chosen tooltip from a file input in Chrome

Question

I would like to remove the  No file chosen  tooltip from a file input in Google Chrome  I see that no tooltip is displayed in Firefox    Please notice that I m talking not about the text inside the input field  but about the tooltip that appears when you move the mouse over the input   I ve tried this with no luck       myFileInput   attr  title

You can disable the tooltip setting a title with a space on webkit browsers like Chrome and an empty string on Firefox or IE  tested on Chrome 35  FF 29  IE 11  safari mobile      input type  file     attr  title   window webkitURL

This is a native part of the webkit browsers and you cannot remove it  You should think about a hacky solution like covering or hiding the file inputs    A hacky solution   input type  file       opacity 0            lt div gt       lt input type  file   gt       lt span id  val  gt  lt  span gt       lt span id  button  gt Select File lt  span gt   lt  div gt             button   click function          input type  file     trigger  click           input type  file     change function           val   text this value replace  C   fakepath   i                Fiddle

This is a tricky one  I could not find a way to select the  no file chosen  element so I created a mask using the  after pseudo selector   My solution also requires the use of the following pseudo selector to style the button     -webkit-file-upload-button   Try this  http   jsfiddle net J8Wfx 1   FYI  This will only work in webkit browsers   P S if anyone knows how to view webkit pseudo selectors like the one above in the webkit inspector please let me know

It s better to avoid using unnecessary javascript  You can take advantage of the label tag to expand the click target of the input like so    lt label gt     lt input type  file  style  display  none   gt     lt a gt Open lt  a gt   lt  label gt    Even though input is hidden  the link still works as a click target for it  and you can style it however you want

you can set a width for yor element which will show only the button and will hide the  no file chosen

All the answers here are totally overcomplicated  or otherwise just totally wrong   html    lt div gt       lt input type  file    gt       lt button gt Select File lt  button gt   lt  div gt    css   input       display  none      javascript      button   on  click   function          input   trigger  click           http   jsfiddle net odfe34n8   I created this fiddle  in the most simplistic way  Clicking the Select File button will bring up the file select menu  You could then stylize the button any way you wanted  Basically  all you need to do is hide the file input  and trigger a synthetic click on it when you click another button  I spot tested this on IE 9  FF  and Chrome  and they all work fine

I know it is a bit of a hack  but all I required was to set the color to transparent in the style sheet - inline would look like this style  quot color transparent  quot

The best solution  for me  is to wrap input  type  file   in a  wrapper  and add some jquery code    x000D   x000D    function    x000D   function readURL input   x000D          if  input files  amp  amp  input files 0    x000D              var reader   new FileReader    x000D               x000D              reader onload   function  e   x000D                      uploadImage   attr  src   e target result   x000D                x000D              reader readAsDataURL input files 0    x000D            x000D        x000D          image   change function    x000D          readURL this   x000D          x000D      x000D   image  x000D   position  absolute  x000D   top  0  x000D   left  0  x000D   opacity  0  x000D   width  75px  x000D   height  35px  x000D    x000D   uploadImage  x000D   position  relative  x000D   top  30px  x000D   left  70px  x000D    x000D   button  x000D   position  relative  x000D   width  75px  x000D   height  35px  x000D   border  1px solid  000  x000D   border-radius  5px  x000D   font-size  1 5em  x000D   text-align  center  x000D   line-height  34px  x000D    x000D   lt form action     method  post  id  form   gt  x000D    lt div class  button  gt  x000D    Upload lt input type  file  id  image    gt  x000D        lt  div gt  x000D        lt img id  uploadImage  src     alt  your image  width  350  height  300    gt  x000D    lt  form gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Combining some of the suggestions above  using jQuery  here is what I did   input type  file   unused     color  transparent      And     function          input type  file   unused   click  function      this  removeClass  unused           And put the class  unused  on your file inputs   This is simple and works pretty well

I came up with a hacky solution that totally removes  No file chosen  plus the extra space that is added after that text  in Chrome I get something like    No file chosen                         This was totally messing up my page alignment  so I really fought with it to find a solution  Inside the input tag s style attribute  setting  width  to the width of the button will eliminate the trailing text and spaces  Since the width of the button is not the same in all browsers  it s a little smaller in Firefox  for example   you ll also want to set the style s color to the same color as the background of the page  otherwise a stray  No  may show through   My input file tag looks like this     lt input style  float left    width 88px      color  000000     type  file  id  fileInput  onclick  fileOpen    gt
