Alright, I take that back. You don't have any addEventListeners in your code. Could you attach a testcase that displays the problem?

You'll find a testcase at http://www.kalytta.com/testcase.316182.php
I wasn't able to upload something for an unknown reason.

Attachment: testcase

This is the testcase. It's a PHP file only to print_r the $_FILE array which contains the file input data.
