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.

For any changes in 1.7.1 regarding this..
