Change cursor type on input type="file" [duplicate]

Simple question... How do I change the cursor type on a file input type?

I've tried the following:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            input[type="file"] {
              cursor: pointer;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <input type="file">
    </body>
</html>

For some reason, it won't play ball.

Know this a old thread. But the google results brings this up... I Just found a partial solution to chrome (not invalving flash, javascript, extra DOM manipulation with overflow hidden)

firefox has fixed this bug
safari (7 at this moment) and chrome dosen't have identical behavior
safari (7, mac) dosen't work at all for me
chrome (and maybe opera now when it's webkit) can use ::webkit-file-upload-button pseudo-class

input[type=file], /* FF, IE7+, chrome (except button) */
input[type=file]::-webkit-file-upload-button { /* chromes and blink button */
    cursor: pointer; 
}

The problem is that button's doesn't inherit the cursor property in general(?) but the rest of the input[type=file] field dose. Thats why chrome get the pointer except the button

cursor:pointer does not work on input file just because of the default button. No special reason here. You need to remove its appearance via this code, pay attention with font-size:0.

input[type='file']{
    opacity: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: 24px;
    height: 24px;
    font-size: 0;
    position: absolute;
}

<input type="file">
<img width="24" height="24" title="" alt="" src="data:image/png;base64,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" />
