empty value when clone file input field in IE

[kakilang]

It works well in other browsers, except IE.

('#submit').submit(function(){

$('#form2').append($('#photo').clone());

});

<form id="form1"> <input type="file" name="photo" id="photo"> <input type="submit" id="submit"> </form>

<form id="form2"> </form>

The inputs are missing the closing dash. Can you turn this loose data into a formal test case ? a minimalistic html file with the requires html and js to reproduce the problem.

Use this link to include jQuery:  http://code.jquery.com/jquery-nightly.js

This is a limitation of cloning most form elements in IE and we are unable to set the value of the file input via javascript due to security restrictions.
