Webkit has ::-webkit-file-upload-button, IE has ::-ms-browse, leaving Gecko/Quantum as the only major rendering engine without the ability to style the button component of the <input type=file> control.

::-moz-file-upload-button would be great for platform parity. I know there are workarounds using <label> that can still render any button one likes, but they rely on script to parse the selected filename(s) and insert them into the DOM. It's not a clean solution compared to the native control.

This would be better as a feature request to the CSS Working Group: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/new

This is relatively simple to add, but we try to avoid adding new vendor-prefixed things to the platform.

Looks like there was no objection from the working group! The name may be a bit under discussion so I'll only enable it on nightly / beta until the dust settles a bit.

Ever confirmed: true
Summary: No CSS pseudo-element for file input buttons → [css-pseudo] implement ::file-chooser-button

As per https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5049.

Don't enable it unconditionally just yet, as the name may change, and I
need to write an intent email :)

James, the WPT lint is angry at me because I didn't include a link to a spec in a reftest. But there's no spec (yet) and the test has .tentative.html in the name. Do you know how should I proceed here?

Depends on: 1639852

The lint is no longer grumpy about the lack of a link.

Or, I guess that's true upstream but not yet in m-c. If this is blocking you and the sync is too slow to wait for I can cherry-pick that commit into central (guess the sync will be a couple of days at least).

I can wait, I need to wait for bug 1639852 to get reviewed first. Thanks!

I have updated BCD to rename the -webkit version, and add that as an old name for this standardized pseudo.

Also moved the property page, and added examples of using the standard version, and standard version with a fallback of the -webkit version: https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::file-selector-button
