      -moz-box-shadow:inset 0px 1px 0px 0px #cae3fc;
      -webkit-box-shadow:inset 0px 1px 0px 0px #cae3fc;
      box-shadow:inset 0px 1px 0px 0px #cae3fc;
      background:-webkit-gradient( linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0.05, #79bbff), color-stop(1, #4197ee) );
      background:-moz-linear-gradient( center top, #79bbff 5%, #4197ee 100% );
      filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#79bbff', endColorstr='#4197ee');
      background-color:#79bbff;
     -moz-border-radius:6px;
     -webkit-border-radius:6px;
     border-radius:6px;
     border:1px solid #469df5;
     display:inline-block;
     color:#ffffff;
     font-family:arial;
     font-size:14px;
     font-weight:bold;
     padding:5px 14px;
     text-decoration:none;
     text-shadow:1px 1px 0px #287ace;
    cursor:pointer;
}
.submit:hover {
     background:-webkit-gradient( linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0.05, #4197ee), color-stop(1, #79bbff) );
     background:-moz-linear-gradient( center top, #4197ee 5%, #79bbff 100% );
     filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#4197ee', endColorstr='#79bbff');
     background-color:#4197ee;
}
 .submit:active {
   position:relative;
   top:1px;
}

 .text-input {
    padding: 6px;
    font-size: 13px;
    border: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
    color: #333;
    border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px !important;
 }

<form>
    <input type="text" class="text-input" size="40"/>
    <input type="button" value="Upload" id="upload" class="submit"/>
</form>

I want to add the same style to the file upload input type. I am a css beginner. How can i use this style to file upload button?

I tried this it looks pretty good to me. Are there any flaws with this?
Here is the jsfiddle link http://jsfiddle.net/Tdkre/1/

#FileUpload {
    position:relative;
}

#BrowserVisible {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 1;
    background:url(upload.png) 100% 1px no-repeat;
    width:345px;
    height:30px;
}

#FileField {
    width:250px;
    margin-right:85px;
    padding: 6px;
    font-size: 13px;
    background: #fff url('bg-form-field.gif') top left repeat-x;
    border: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
    color: #333;
    border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px !important;
}

#BrowserHidden {
    position:relative;
    width:345px;
    height:30px;
    text-align: right;
    -moz-opacity:0;
    filter:alpha(opacity: 0);
    opacity: 0;
    z-index: 2; 
}

<div id="FileUpload">
<input type="file" size="24" id="BrowserHidden" onchange="getElementById('FileField').value = getElementById('BrowserHidden').value;" />
<div id="BrowserVisible"><input type="text" id="FileField" /></div>
