Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
When I try to use JS to set a file input field, JavaScript Console return the
following error:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Security error" code: "1000"
nsresult: "0x805303e8 (NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR)" location:
"file:///d:/abc.html Line: 90"]
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
The script/html I was using are as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script langage="javascript">
<!--
function ck(e){
alert(e.value);
e.value = null;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form2" id="form2">
<input name="file" type="file" size="25" onClick="ck(this);"/>
<input id="subphoto" name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:
The file field doesn't reset, but return the error as described above.
Expected Results:
Running the html under IE, it clears the file field fine.
I'm not sure it's a bug or some sort of the security restriction, would there be
any work around then?

See

You need to set the value to an empty string, anything else (including null) is
disallowed.
Even I use e.value = ''; or e.value = new String; instead of e.value = null;
same error persists. Any idea?

I should have realized this was fixed after 1.0.x in bug 266744. This works in Firefox 1.5.
