jQuery trigger file input

by

This is due to a security restriction.

I found out that the security restriction is only when the <input type="file"/> is set to display:none; or is visbilty:hidden.

So i tried positioning it outside the viewport by setting position:absolute and top:-100px; and voilà it works.

see http://jsfiddle.net/DSARd/1/

call it a hack.

Hope that works for you.
