Normally, on imagefield, the file browser is displayed first, then, the label/description. It goes something like this:

Choose file: [browse]
"Maximum file size: 8 MB
Allowed extensions: png gif jpg jpeg
Images must be exactly 200x250 pixels"

How can i switch their position so that the label/description is displayed first before the file browser?

Can this be achieve by just fiddling with the admin settings? Or modding the stylesheet is the only way?

Thanks.

There's no setting you can use to change the positioning of the description. Unfortunately in Drupal 6 *all* fields are controlled by a single theme function: theme_form_element(). So if you overrode that theme function, it would apply throughout your entire Drupal site.

can this be achieved thru a form_alter hook?

i am thinking of getting the div id of the label, then, thru php, copy its contents, hide the label div, and then insert the copied content before the upload field.

but i dont know how and where to do this.. if it is possible of course.

thankss

In theory you could move the description above a field by form_altering it into a different element that is placed above the field. That's an option yes.

I'm sure you're capable of using a text editor and a search. Sometimes it's also convenient to just look the function you want up at http://api.drupal.org.
