Found my answer. Thank you for commenting. My reason for your grade C is:

1) You googled for an answer - I can do this myself...
2) You have a Master certificate in CSS and should have, at least came across this issue in other questions before. Therefore should have known you can't apply CSS, CSS2 or CSS3 to a input type=file without applying serious hacks. (which I didnt want.)

If you dont agreed I'm sorry. I have once been docked points and got a telling off before for googling... only newbies google for answers as their just after the points and dont really know the answer...and you can probably tell, i dont like wannabe "experts" like that. Its nothing personal and im not imploying your a wannabe expert...
