hello Friends

I have to trigger a click event of file upload control from
javascript.

The file upload click events works nice in IE (from javascript) but
creates problem in Firefox.

So friends is there any way to do it ?

Pls help.

Regards
sunil Panore

As far as I know its not possible.
Most libraries that display a custom button for selecting files
actually places the input field (which have a builtin click listener)
on top of the button and sets its opacity to 0.

You are never required to do the impossible.

It would be a very bad thing if it were,
since it would be a security breach,
as you could upload files from my pc without my authorisation.

So better not be trigger-happy.

That is not correct as there are other precautions in place for this.
As an example, I believe you cannot set the value property of a file
input, and in newer browsers you cannot read the _real_ path after it
is set either.

No, you'd just be presented with a dialog box to select a file, istm.
