[jQuery] click() fails to launch file dialog
Are there any known issues with the click() event as it relates to input::file? More likely though, I've misunderstood the context, any help would be appreciated.
xhtml:
<a href="#" class="file" >Click to Browse Files</a>
<div style="display:hidden">
<input type="file" id="myFile" />
</div>
javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.file').click(function() {
$('input#myFile').click();
});
});
When I debug this code, I see that the link click is being captured and the hidden input field is being located, but the click() doesn't seem to trigger the file dialog window to appear.
Any ideas?
