hi ...

could you please explain what you want to achieve with that? you click on a button and you want to call the click event of a file-type input box? ... why not using its own button?

kind regards

Hi,

A file input element does not have a click function according to web standards, there is no problem with Firefox, IE is executing invalid javascript. If you are trying to focus on the file input use the .focus() function instead, if you are trying to select it use the .select() function.

A reference for the file intput pbject can be seen on w3schools here

Maybe you could try styling the element as shown here.
