title: How to use a link instead of the normal file input button to explorer files and folders
body: <p>I would like to create a link which when clicked shows the file/folder explorer, instead of the usual file-input (file explorer button) ussually used in web pages. Is this really possible?</p>
  
  <p>The only way I've managed to go about it is using the <a href="http://markusslima.github.io/bootstrap-filestyle/" rel="nofollow">Bootstrap FileStyle</a>, which is, however, still a button, al·be·it better looking than the default file WW3 input button.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap-filestyle.min.js"&gt; &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Via JavaScript:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$(":file").filestyle({badge: false});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Via data attributes:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="file" class="filestyle" data-badge="false"&gt;
  </code></pre>
