HTML input type="file" in Chrome does not show textbox

The box is there, although it is not designed. It might be on the "wrong" side of the window, but it's there.

Just for the matter - put a border around it - and you'll see it's there.

  <input type="file" style="border: solid 1px red">

Also, after you select a file - you get the name of it.

This is the default behavior of Google chrome as well as Safari. Read this blog for a solution
