CSS - Pseudo-element - ::file-selector-button

The ::file-selector-button pseudo-element is a representation of a button of an <input> of type="file". It basically opens up the file selection pop-up, on the click of the button.

Since the pseudo-element ::file-selector-button is a complete element in itself, the fonts and colors may not be inherited from the <input> element.

Syntax

input[type="file"]::file-selector-button {
   /* ... */
}
