How to use onclick to trigger file diaglog (browse button)?

[bobby9101]

Hi, i have an a file upload form, but later on the page I want to be able to click a button and using the onclick event, trigger the form input field that would cause the file browser dialog to open.
How do I trigger a form element with onclick?
Thanks so much,
Bobby

As far as I remember You can use document.Form1.upload1.click(), but this will work only in IE, other browsers do not allow this due to security issues.
