OK then...is it possible with via CSS? You know how you can set the size
of an Xform textarea with a css containing

textarea
{
width: 100%;
}

So what is the upload component actually emitted as (in XHTML)?

Something like:

<form name="form1"> <input name="XFormcontrolname"
type="file" /><input onclick="whatFile()"
value="Open File" type="button" /></form>

?

Nah it doesn't work. The size of the entire control grows (invisibly).

e.g.

input
{
width: 1000px;
}

or as 100% or whatever just adds invisible space but the size of the
text box itself doesn't change.

Ah well.
