In JavaScript can I make a "click" event fire programmatically for a file input element?
- by gregory.bell
I'd like to make a click event fire on an <input type="file"> tag programmatically.
Just calling click() doesn't seem to do anything or at least it doesn't pop up a file selection dialog.
I've been experimenting with capturing events using listeners and redirecting the event, but I haven't been able to get that to actually perform the event like someone clicked on it.
