In JavaScript can I make a “click” event fire programmatically for a file input element?

Question

I\'d like to make a click event fire on an tag programmatically.

Just calling click() doesn\'t seem to do anything or at lea

Answer 1

THIS IS POSSIBLE: Under FF4+, Opera ?, Chrome: but:

1. inputElement.click() should be called from user action context! (not script execution context)

2. should be visible (inputElement.style.display !== 'none') (you can hide it with visibility or something other, but not "display" property)
