Here is solution that work for me: CSS:

#uploadtruefield {
    left: 225px;
    opacity: 0;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 266px;
    opacity:0;
    -moz-opacity:0;
    filter:alpha(opacity:0);
    width: 270px;
    z-index: 2;
}

.uploadmask {
    background:url(../img/browse.gif) no-repeat 100% 50%;
}
#uploadmaskfield{
    width:132px;
}

HTML with "small" JQuery help:

Just be sure that maskfied is covered compeltly by true upload field.
