Chrome/Safari currently allow this behavior. It's desirable when you want to display an alternative UI for both selecting and displaying files and provides parity with features offered by current Flash-based uploaders.
Having input.click() work only in response to a user action seems like a reasonable restriction, if there is a security concern.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Include a <input type='file'> element in a web page.
2. Access the element via javascript
3. Call the element's click() method.
Actual Results:
Nothing
Expected Results:
A file browse dialog should appear, just as if the user had clicked on the "Browse..." button in the control.
