Unique Upload Field text invisible inside of Subsection Manager about subsectionmanager HOT 13 CLOSED

I think this behaviour is Firefox specific and related to the usage of an upload field inside an iframe. Not sure how to fix this but I'll will investigate this case. I'll mail you if I need more information. You will not be in London for the meet-up in June by any chance?

I wish I could be, but no I won't.

It might have something to do with this, but I doubt it. It's just a spelling error, but you never know:

Warning: Expected color but found 'transpareant'.  Expected end of value but found 'transpareant'.  Error in parsing value for 'border'.  Declaration dropped.

Does correcting this typo change anything in the behaviour?

You think I'd have been clever enough to realize I could edit the file on my own site myself... (gasp!)

No, it didn't fix it. Would have been too simple I guess.

This is the culprit:

body.subsection form input[type="file"] {
    color: #fff;
}

Firefox honours this and sets the text colour to white, making it invisible against the white background of the input field.

I tried using the -moz-appearance property to disable Firefox's default styles but it didn't seem to make any difference by setting it to none.

The only solution I could find was to use javascript to make a dummy upload field that populates the real one. The real one is then hidden from view. I guess in this situation that would be acceptable as the entire field runs on javascript anyway.

Oh, I also tried setting border and outline to none, but the issue is even if I set a background I can't get rid of that stupid border around the input box.

Maybe I'm missing the point — can't that line of CSS simply be removed?

Bah who uses that Safari piece of shit anyway :-P

Hey! I like it :)

So do I and it works fine in Chrome as well as Safari. I'm also reasonably certain that it'd be fine in IE as well.

You know, you could always use JS to target Firefox and apply a class to override the font color?
