Issue with HTML display format?

In my application I need to select the image. So I use input tag of type "file". The UI looks like the following image,

<input type="file" id="fileUploader">

enter image description here

How can I write the above input tag as <a> tag so that when clicking on the camera image I need to select the file,

<a href="#" onClick='#'><img src="img/camera.jpg"/></a>

I think this one is what you need

<img onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('myFile').click();" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/O/r/K/T/t/n/camera-icon-hi.png" style="width:50px;height:auto" />

<input type="file" id="myFile" style="display:none" />

I just hide my input file and let the onclick attribute of image show the dialog..

Just refer to my sample below.

A better option than a would be to use a label with for, and keep the input hidden.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/abhitalks/GpsAJ/

Markup:

<label for="fileUploader" />
<input type="file" id="fileUploader" />

CSS:

#fileUploader {
    display: none;
}
label[for=fileUploader] {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 128px; height: 128px;
    cursor: pointer;
    background: url('your-camera-image-here') no-repeat left center;
}

Try this:

    $(function(){ 
     $('#anchorlink').click(function(){
    $(this).replaceWith('<input type="file" id="fileUploader" />'); 
$('#fileUploader').click(); 
    })
    });




<a href="#" id="anchorlink" >click<img src="stylish.png"/></a>
