Javascript code can emulate a real click on a forms button by calling the click
function. Example: document.forms[0].button.click()
Only if it is an upload button nothing happens. Change the type="file" property
to another value, maybe type="reset" results the expected click

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a HTML page with an upload button within a form 
   You can add onclick="javascript:alert('clicked')"
2. Enter javascript:document.forms[0].button.click


Actual Results:  
No reaction

Expected Results:  
Button should be clicked, the alert should pop up
