Twitter Bootstrap Fancy File Plugin

Browsers do not let you style file inputs. Fancy File Plugin fixes this problem. It is written using JavaScript and jQuery. See Fancy File Plugin demo.

How to Use

Trigger the fancyfile via JavaScript

    $('input.fancyfile').fancyfile(options);

Markup

    <input name="upload" type="file" data-toggle="fancyfile" data-style="btn-primary">

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-text="".

Name	type	default	description
text	boolean | string	Select File	insert text into the fancyfile button.
icon	boolean | string	icon-file	insert icon into the fancyfile button.
style	string		apply button style to the fancyfile button.
placeholder	boolean | string	Select File…	apply placeholder to the fancyfile fake input.
