This is implemented by the web browser.

File tool parameters are rendered by tool_form.mako in such a way that the web browser takes over and allows users to select files. One is very constrained about how customized one can make this as a security mechanism - to protected users and their hard drives from websites.

Hi, how is the "Browse..." button implemented on the data upload tool page?
When you click on it you get a new window appearing so you can select files to upload.
Does anyone know where is the "Browse..." button is defined/implemented in the code? I thought it would be in "./templates/webapps/galaxy/tool_form.mako" but can't see any references to it
Thanks foir any help
