Well, I tried many variations of .click() with FF and according to this
link:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html
reads:
"The click() method allows you to simulate a click on a form field.
Checkboxes get toggled, radios selected, and so on. Unfortunately Mozilla
and Opera haven't added this method to file upload fields. I wonder why,
adding it is not really a security risk since the worst that can happen is
that the file selection window pops up.
So unfortunately we cannot use this simple solution."
I hadn't tried your "trigger" method. Did you test it in FF? I just did and
unfortunately as said on quirksmode that does not work :( but it does on
everything else.
What else do you suggest?
Thanks
Steffan
