Change the label in an HTML file input

Question

Does anyone if the label of an <input type="file"> can be hidden? I can't find anything useful.

On some browsers there's a label beside the button used to select the file that will be uploaded. — Heldraug, Feb 01 '12 at 18:36

@Justin: I think that's a little presumptuous. He said "labels", not "input box". — Devin Burke, Feb 01 '12 at 18:49
That post refers to the text box that is beside the button. I'm talking about the label that says "No file chosen". Here's a screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/screenshot20120201at124.png/ — Heldraug, Feb 01 '12 at 18:52

Make the color the same as the background, for example:

html, input, textarea {
color: #something or other;
}
