FileUploadField, CSS, and empty form values
I'm trying to attach some CSS to the "browse" button in a FileUploadField.
Rather, since this is actually impossible, I'm hiding the actual field, and
creating a pretty looking "fake" similar to what this page does:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html. The issue is that when I
submit the form, even though the field seems to be populated in the browser,
the value doesn't make it to the form itself. Is there some magic required
to get the field value to actually populate in the form?

Took me a while to figure out how to get the "nice" looking stuff to properly
hide the old-and-ugly implementation. Once I got it worked out (woo
Firebug), things moved along. I just need to finalize the AJAX callback
between the iframe and the parent page.
Here's a sample of the "nice" looking file upload field:

Yeah, I have been doing so, and do not see the field contents going through.
I found an alternative, though, because I stupidly forgot that file upload +
AJAX = no worky. Instead, I've embedded an iframe, and got the form
submission going on through there, and that seems to be doing the trick.
Though my CSS issues are still there, but that has nothing to do with Wicket
itself.

I'd suggest to use firebug to check if it actually works. There is no
magic in this at least..:)
