Add an input dynamically and provide type=file to it. Or use this code.

document.getElementById('file_div').innerHTML = '<input type="file" name="myfile" />';

where file_div is the id of the div where you want to add this.

Hello sir,

<script language="javascript">
document.getElementById('file_div').innerHTML = '<input type="file" name="myfile" />';
</script>

What does this line do? Whether it creates browse button or anything else.
When I add above in HTML part of programme, it does nothing. What is the reason sir.

Of course it adds a browse button (technically:fi le input) as you asked.

But it has one requirement. You need to have a div in your page with id="file_div".

So where you want this button to be added, add <div id="file_div"> </div> in your HTML.

innerHTML dynamically adds HTML to an element of the document. Google for its purpose, you will understand it.

And use type="text/javascript" instead of language="javas cript"
