Is it necessary that you use your form object?
Would window.open() help you out at all? On second glance, is this a browser window, or a file-selecting-dialog-thing?

file browse dialog in Firefox
Maybe if you used something like
Code:
var file_input = document.getElemenById('val');
file_input.click();

file input
I tried this (after adding the missing "t" to element)
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getFile(){
var file_input = document.getElementById('val');
file_input.click();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<FORM NAME="info" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"><INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="val" id="val" /></FORM>
<input type="button" value="getFile" onclick="getFile();" />
</body>
</html>
I thought it might have something to do with event bubble/capture but Opera does both so now I wonder if the "browse" button is "bound" to the file input object in IE and takes the click, but isn't in the others. I wonder if there's a way to create a file object without needing to pass a click to it?

yes, currently i have the browse button on my FF,NN,Opera parts of my website.
check it out in IE, FF, NN (FF, NN, Exc. will be the same, IE wont) http://www.freewebs.com/colton22/index.html currently it will redirect you in 12 seconds but you could click the lowest link, the only difference is home.html not index.html. when the home.html file is viewed in IE (best viewed in IE) under the playlist dropdown, the second one is "Browse For File..." if you click that a browse box will appear, select a file, playing the file is not set up yet, in FF, when you click "Browse for file...", that same area gets the "innerHTML" task on it and becomes a browse input field and a play button. colton22
