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>

If the form has display:none; chrome doesn't show the dialog, but if the form has not display:none; chrome does.
It is a chrome thing thought.
The problem is that unpespected behaivour brokes the jquery's cross-browserality.

- Milestone 1.6.3 deleted
That code can't possibly work at all - there are several syntax errors.
