CSS

Almost all the browsers have different settings for base margins and padding. It is always important to set margin and padding for the body and html tags while styling web-pages.

The Flag module in Drupal allows you to create different flags for your website.

The trick explained briefly We are not actually going to theme the file upload field as it is presently nearly impossible to do that. Instead we are going to put an ordinary looking 'dummy' input text field over the file field. Next we proceed to make the 'original' file upload field invisible but accessible to the user via CSS.

To make it authentic we are going to copy the file path from the file upload field to the text input field via javascript.

While designing fixed width layouts it is advantageous to use percentage based width for inner containers in the layout to make it easy for easy scaling up of the layout for other widths.

If not, you will end up with fractions as widths of containers leaving the rounding off to the browsers.
