Description
Due to IE's inane security manager, you can't set the value of an input[file], even to "" to reset it.
There's a workaround that might be useful to pull into jQuery. It wraps a form around the input element, calls reset on it, then removes the parent element:

function reset(e) {
e.wrap('<form>').closest('form').get(0).reset(); e.unwrap();
}
This workaround works in all browsers:

Sounds like this would be good for a jQuery plugin like file upload.
