CSS will not target file type for image upload

Your title doesn't make sense at all?

What are you trying to do? Upload a image and change the how it looks with CSS?

This has to be a weirdest question I read.

Hi LastMitch, sorry for the confusion.

I have a number of input elements using the class input-wide to add a background image to the input fields in a form which are all working (I have only included the one that is not displaying the background image).

All the other input fields have an input type = text where as the input upload has an input type = file and this is the input field that will not display the background image.

Now from the message I had assumed (wrongly) that it may have been the file type that was causing the problem.

Thanks in advance
