jQuery trigger file input
css, javascript, jquery
Solution
This is due to a security restriction.
I found out that the security restriction is only when the `<input type="file"/>` is set to `display:none;` or is `visbilty:hidden`.
So i tried positioning it outside the viewport by setting `position:absolute` and `top:-100px;` and voilà it works.
see http://jsfiddle.net/DSARd/1/
call it a hack.
Hope that works for you.
Problem
Am trying to trigger an upload box (browse button) using jQuery. The method I have tried now is: ``` $('#fileinput').trigger('click'); ``` But it doesn't seem to work. Please help. Thank you.
