You can't force the file dialog to open, at least not without some serious workarounds: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/210643/in-javascript-can-i-make-a-click-event-fire-programmatically-for-a-file-input-e

This code works for me either in firefox 5.0 as in chromium 12.0.742.112
<html> <body>
<input id="file" type="file"/> <a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('file').click();">Click me</a>
</body> </html>
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
That code can't possibly work at all - there are several syntax errors.
