when using style="width:100%" on form elements, they should resize to the size of there parents. If was even enforced for other elements in firefox 3. Would be nice if Firefox 3 would support this to for the file-upload element.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. <input type=file style="width:100%">
2. <div> tags around it with a certain width
3.
Actual Results:  
the input type="file" doesn't care about anything it just displays the same size

Expected Results:  
The width of the total (input + button) should the size of its parent

It works in Opera, Safari, IE7, even in IE6 it seems to work.
from bug 412366 comment 1:
input[type="file"] has only very limited
support for author styling. That is covered by bug 52500.


You can still adjust the width using the size attribute on the input element.
